Ancona will not participate in the next Serie C championship, thus favoring the entry of Milan Under 23, ready to make its debut picking up from fishing the place that would have been reserved for the Marche club. Covisoc’s negative pronouncement on June 12th was decisive, which considered the registration request for the 2024/2025 season incomplete due to the failure to pay the monthly payments for March and April to its members. And today, on the occasion of the Federal Council chaired by President Gabriele Gravina, the definitive rejection of Ancona came.
“The Federal Council has taken note of the non-granting of the license for participation in the Lega Pro championship only for the Ancona club, which has not presented any appeal against the Covisoc communication”, we read in a note from the Football Federation. Which at the same time approved the criteria for the repechages, asserting the ranking that allows Milan Under 23 to have precedence over the other teams in possession of the necessary requirements: from the teams relegated to Serie D after their respective defeats in the playouts (Fiorenzuola, Virtus Francavilla, Monterosi and Recanatese) to the winners of the Serie D playoffs. According to federal regulations, Milan have until June 25th to submit your registration application, including the indication of the facility in which you will play your matches (the finalization works of the “Felice Chinetti” in Solbiate Arno are already underway).
The president of the FIGC Gabriele Gravinaon the sidelines of today’s Federal Council, concluded his speech thus: “The staff will be ready as early as the end of June, it is a commitment kept. Great satisfaction for having secured the system, it will be the first summer without appeals on admissions to the championships. If there were to be another Second Team it would be a source of pride, because it would give a signal of the championship’s quality. It would be a tangible sign of a championship that is becoming increasingly credible and sought after by Serie A teams, as part of a search for system stability that, with a certain gradualness, our work has achieved.”
