Supercup switched to San Siro

The League has surprisingly announced that the Italian Supercup clash Milan-Lazio will be played at the San Siro rather than Tripoli.

The trophy showcase between the Scudetto holders and Coppa Italia winners was set to take place in the Libyan Capital for the second time on August 21.

However, this evening the Lega Calcio released a statement explaining the change of venue was due to “unexpected organisational problems.”

Mystery surrounds the issues that were at the core of these “problems,” but the match between Milan and Lazio will now be staged at the San Siro in Milan on August 21.

It was set to be the fourth time that this trophy – which traditionally opens the Italian football season – was played outside of the Peninsula following trips to Washington DC, Tripoli and last year’s showdown in New York.

Just give it to Milan

Good move...if it's not 100% safe for players and fans, why take the risk.

I would have rather it be held on another city in Italy. Other fans will just say that this move was to benefit Milan.
