All sporting events in Italy will take place without fans present for at least the next month because of the coronavirus outbreak in the country, the Italian government announced today.
An advocacy group is urging the NCAA to consider holding March Madness games with no fans in attendance because of concerns over the coronavirus.
All sporting events throughout the country must take place behind closed doors until April 3. Schools and universities have been ordered to close until March 15. That also calls into question Italy’s Six Nations rugby match against England in Rome on March 14. That match will either have to go ahead behind closed doors or be postponed. Italy’s match against Ireland, which was scheduled for Saturday, had already been postponed.
The Italian soccer league’s governing body has yet to release a revised schedule but reports say the six Serie A soccer matches that were postponed last week will now be played this weekend. That includes one of the biggest matches of the season — the Juventus-Inter game, known as the “Derby d’Italia” or Italy’s derby.
