Tuttosport: Disagreement emerges between Milan, Inter and Mediaset over Supercoppa

A disagreement seems to have arisen regarding the Italian Supercoppa Italiana Final, which will see Mian and Inter compete on 18 January 2023 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

According to Tuttosport (via SempreMilan.it), the start time of the match – which will be broadcasted on Mediaset back in Italy – has not yet been made official. Mediaset for obvious reasons would like to show the game to its viewers in a prime time slot but that would require the teams to start the game at 22:00 local time.

The paper adds that Milan and Inter are instead insisting that the Super Cup starts at 18:00 CEST (20:00 local time), above all because the return trip to Milan is scheduled immediately after the game.

Updates are expected in the coming weeks on the situation and a concession will have to be made from one side, either on convenience or the need for the game to be in a certain slot for television purposes.
