The Prefect’s order, detailed in resolution no. 39/2025, underscores the commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all attendees at sporting events. Authorities cite concerns about potential public safety risks and disruptions should residents of Arezzo be permitted to purchase tickets. The ban is intended to de-escalate tensions and allow for a peaceful habitat during future matches between the two teams.
