The Italian football federation (IFF) have confirmed football in
Italy will resume this weekend.
All of last weekend's matches were postponed after a policeman was
killed following an ill-tempered derby clash between Catania and
Palermo on Friday.
Football in the country was suspended following the tragedy, but
after new stadium guidelines were approved on Wednesday, the league
will also now resume.
IFF commissioner Luca Pancalli has praised the government's efforts
and believes it was the right thing to resume football in the
country this weekend.
"There is great satisfaction in the measures taken," stated
Pancalli.
"I'd like thank to the government for their efforts and speed. I
think it would have been a mistake not restarting."
