Why was the Juventus-Napoli match not played?
Before the Juventus-Napoli fight, which should be played on October 4 in the 3rd week of Serie A, the Kovid-19 test of 3 people in the guest team was positive and the travel ban to the Napoli team subsequently complicated things .
The local health authorities of the city of Naples did not allow Napoli to attend the Juventus match in Turin due to positive cases in the team, and the Blue and Whites were unable to attend.
When Napoli could not attend the match, the match was suspended.
The Serie A management, in their subsequent decision, cited that Napoli did not attend when they could go to the match and, therefore, were not present at the stadium where the match was to be played, and sanctioned Napoli 3-0 defeat and 1 elimination point.
Although Napoli opposed this decision before the FIGC, it was unable to obtain a result and finally appealed to the CONI Board of Arbitration.
