Turin derby delayed after violent clashes between fans
The Torino vs Juventus match was eventually set to kick off at 21:45.
Originally scheduled for 20:45 as part of the 38th Serie A matchday, the Turin derby between Torino and Juventus was postponed to 21:45 due to safety concerns following clashes between rival supporters.
The highly anticipated Turin derby, which could have secured Juventus a Champions League spot with a victory, was delayed after a Juventus fan was rushed to hospital in critical condition following clashes outside the stadium. The match is now expected to resume around 21:45.
Juventus president and CEO Damien Comolli told DAZN that supporters in the Juventus section urged midfielder and captain Manuel Locatelli not to play, citing concerns over the injured fan’s condition. The Italian league had scheduled the match simultaneously with other key fixtures in Milan, Como, and Rome, all teams competing for the final two Champions League qualification spots.
