Overview
- Serie A and the government of Western Australia confirmed the Perth match between AC Milan and Como 1907 has been canceled.
- Organizers cited financial risk, difficult approval conditions and last‑minute complications outside their control.
- League chief Ezio Simonelli said new, unacceptable requirements from the Asian Football Confederation in the final hours made staging the game impossible.
- The fixture had been set for February 8 because San Siro will host the Winter Olympics opening ceremony on February 10.
- UEFA had granted only reluctant, exceptional approval, fan group FSE opposed the plan, and the decision follows LaLiga’s scrapped Barcelona–Villarreal game in Miami two months earlier.
