Juve blame Torino for ban
By Football Italia staff
Juventus announced they will appeal a partial stadium ban, as they shouldn’t pay for the “failure and inefficiency” of Torino.
The club was today ordered to close the Curva Sud for their season opener against Udinese.
This is a reduction of the original two-match closure after a firework was thrown into a sector of Torino fans during the derby on April 26.
Juventus hit back with a statement and promised a new appeal to the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee).
“Today’s decision by the FIGC Court of Appeal leaves us perplexed, as the person responsible for this crime was identified and arrested.
“This identification was able to confirm that he was inside the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, an event organised by another club, without a ticket and his name was not present on the list of Juventini present in the away sector.
“He was already on a Daspo ban, so should not have been allowed into the stadium, and was not a Juventus season ticket holder.
“It is therefore unclear why the club should be considered responsible for his behaviour. Juventus and their fans must not pay the price for the failure and inefficiency of others.”
