The Italian Football Federation announced on Monday night that all its competitions, including Serie A, will remain suspended until June 14.

The Lega Serie A had hoped for a return on June 13 but the FIGC has pushed back the date in line with a Govt decree that all sports competitions be suspended until next month.

The FIGC said the choice was made “pending any further... decision by the authorities”, suggesting the possibility of a restart on June 13 might still exist.

A meeting is planned in the near future between Conte and Italian football bosses. The Government’s technical and scientific committee will decide in the coming days if it accepts the new health protocols proposed for a return to group training and competition.
