Serie A Confirms Milan–Como League Match in Perth on Feb. 8, 2026

Overview

• The fixture, part of the 24th round, will be played in Perth, Australia, marking the first Serie A match staged outside Italy.
• San Siro is unavailable on that date because it will host the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
• The Asian Football Confederation approved the relocation on the condition that AFC match officials oversee the game, which Serie A accepted.
• Lega Serie A president Ezio Simonelli said he consulted FIFA’s Gianni Infantino and received guarantees from referees chief Pierluigi Collina about the officials’ qualifications.
• Some Milan players have criticized the long-haul trip, and the league says logistical and organizational details still need to be finalized.
