Today could have been a big day for AC Milan, given that the game against Como was being discussed by UEFA. But they must wait.
It is nothing new for Milan to wait, and in another case involving San Siro, they are also left waiting. That regards a decision from the City about whether they themselves and Inter can buy the stadium, something which has been delayed already.

However, now the Rossoneri will be left waiting for a decision regarding its use in 2026.
Nothing from UEFA
In February, the two clubs are expected to travel to Perth for a Serie A game, with officialities underway. San Siro cannot be used due to the Olympics, so an alternative must be found. Logically, the Rossoneri are looking abroad, almost 15,000km away, again, logically.
Ezio Simonelli had previously stated that a decision from UEFA was expected today (the 11th of September), with him remaining ‘positive’ about the outcome. However, that decision will not arrive.
As Francesco Nasato relays from Corriere della Sera journalist Monica Colombo, the decision has been postponed. Though no reason why has been given, this does not help decipher if this is a move for or against the game being allowed abroad.
The journalist followed the post up on X, stating, “The UEFA Executive Committee has discussed the FIGC’s request to approve the holding of a league match outside the UEFA territory. No decision has been taken, UEFA will initiate consultations with all parties involved in European football, including fans.”
We shall have to see, but the Diavolo will be left waiting again. The fact that fan involvement will now occur, though, is a promising sign.
Why would the fans, especially the season ticket holders, approve to not getting to watch a home game this season which was bought and paid for?
Or are Milan going to fly the season ticket holders out to Australia to watch the match?
Or they will get their money back for one game if the game wasn’t already excluded from their payment when they purchased their season tickets.
Try thinking about the players and the stress this puts on them. People on here are rigthfully talking about the stress that players from North America are facing returning from international friendlies. Why would you want to do this to your whole team? Oh, how stupid of me- money.
Money plus let other milan fans watch milan .
Everyone knows that milan is having the most fans out of the big 3 ( milan inter juve ) outside Italy .
In Italy Juve has most fans .
Why would we give away one game with home advantage and upon that tired players in the next match? Could result in lost points that could be the difference between qualifying for the Champions League or not. Or ending up in 8th or 9th place….
Milan not wining home anyways remember cremonese ? We should have played that one in a different country , remember the supercoppa !? Milan played better away !
