Serie A: the calendar for the 2022-23 season is born
The draw at 12 on 24 June
MILAN – Asymmetrical groups, four days to be played with the transfer market still open and stop mid-season for the World Cup in Qatar, the one that Serie A is preparing to unveil for the 2022/23 season will be a decidedly particular summer calendar. Tomorrow, 24 June 2022, in fact, the curtain will be raised on the calendar of the next championship, live from 12 on Dazn and on the YouTube channel of Lega Serie A with the president Lorenzo Casini and the managing director Luigi De Siervo.
And it will be a different calendar than usual, precisely because the first World Cup, which will not be played in the summer (in Qatar it will be played from 18 November to 21 December), has forced the League to revise the dates. In fact, it will start on the weekend of 13-14 August, with four days to be played by the end of the month. There will be four midweek rounds and there will instead be two breaks for the national teams (at the end of September and at the end of March) but the main novelty concerns the stop for the World Cup: Serie A will play the last day on November 13, with the break that then start on November 14 with the championship which will then start again official on January 4 2023.
Furthermore, the asymmetrical calendar has also been confirmed, with the matches of the second round in a different order, both as a sequence and as a composition within a day, compared to the first leg. In the meantime, the League has announced the constraints and criteria that will be respected in the composition of the matches. The criteria include the absolute alternation of home and away matches for Empoli-Fiorentina, Inter-Milan, Juventus-Turin, Lazio-Rome and Napoli-Salernitana. Also, a match will not have its return until another 8 matches have been played. The League has foreseen that clashes between Milan, Inter, Naples, Juventus, Lazio, Rome and Fiorentina cannot be scheduled in the midweek rounds, just as there are no derbies in the midweek rounds and on the first day.
Finally, the clubs participating in the Champions League (Milan, Inter, Napoli, Juventus) not the clubs participating in the Europa League (Lazio and Rome) and the clubs participating in the Conference League (Fiorentina) in the championship days between two consecutive rounds of the Cup. Europe. In all cases where this has been possible, the League has taken into account situations of unavailability of the field and / or concomitance with other city events of special importance.
