The consequences for the failure to present a team in the field are regulated by article 53 of the Noif
What would happen if Lecce decided not to leave for Bergamo, not presenting himself on the field for the race of the 34th day of Serie A? The regulation is very clear in these cases. The reference is in Article 53, paragraph B, of the Noif (Federal internal organizational rules): “The company that renounces the dispute of a championship match or other event or makes its team renounce to continue in the dispute of the same, where it is already in progress, undergoes the loss of the race with the score of 0-3, or 0-6 for the five-a-side football competitions, or with the score at the most favorable team penalty of a point in the ranking, without prejudice to the application of further and different sanctions for the violation of art. 1 paragraph 1 of the CGS “
So, in the event that the Sticchi Damiani company wanted to continue in the wall against wall with the Serie A League, accused of having ordered the postponement of just 48 hours after the drama of the death of the Salento physiotherapist, Atalanta and the referee La Penna would present themselves on the field at Gewiss on Sunday evening at 8.45 pm and would find the absence of the opponents. It would then be up to the sports judge to impose the defeat on the table and the penalty of a point for the Salento. A very heavy passive, for a team engaged in the struggle not to retreat and, at the moment, fourth with just a point of advantage over Venice and Empoli.
