The Italian Football Federation imposed a fine of 10,000 euros on AC Milan due to strict liability for the unjustified delay in the start of their match against Hellas Verona, which exceeded approximately four minutes. This violation is a recurring issue for the Lombard club, prompting the federation to take this strict measure.

The fine decision came after a comprehensive review of the referees' and observers' reports, as the Disciplinary Committee considered that the delay, even if brief, reflects a lack of adherence to the regulations governing the start of matches, which requires all clubs to strictly comply with the specified times.

On its part, Milan issued a brief statement on its official website, affirming its full respect for the decisions of the Italian Federation. The club indicated that it will work to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future, emphasizing its commitment to fully adhering to regulations and maintaining discipline on the field.

This fine is part of a series of measures implemented by the Italian Federation to ensure strict adherence to match schedules, in an effort to reduce delays that affect the competition calendar and the smooth running of the tournament, especially in Serie A matches, which are characterized by a sensitive timetable.
