Overview
- Gravina, who resigned as FIGC president on April 2, released Wednesday a dossier and study that estimate average losses of more than €730 million a year from 2018 to 2026.
- The study says foreign players took 67.9% of Serie A minutes, a share the report links to fewer chances for Italian youth.
- It labels Serie A an aging competition with a 27-year average age and declining technical levels compared with top European leagues.
- The plan seeks new funding from betting revenues, a reversal of the ban on gambling sponsors, tax incentives to attract professionals, and public support to build or renew stadiums.
- He proposes youth coaching reform, restructuring across Serie A through Serie D and a refereeing overhaul, stresses that quotas for Italian players would breach free-movement rules, and asks for defined authority across bodies with Parliament yet to back any step.
