The highly anticipated match between Genoa and Juventus, scheduled for this evening at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, is facing a major crisis that could lead to its postponement.

According to reports from Abu Dhabi sports channels, the match is likely to be postponed due to a fire in the VAR room. The decision to hold the match without public presence has already been made.

The Genoa club had previously announced that the match against Juventus would be played behind closed doors, following a crowd riot at the team’s Italian Cup match against Sampdoria. The incident left over 50 people injured, including many policemen.

The VAR room is a crucial component of the match, and its unavailability could lead to the suspension of the game. According to FIFA rules, the VAR room must be operational to ensure the smooth conduct of the match.

In a related development, the Italian league has fined both Genoa and Sampdoria €10,000 following clashes between their fans. The incident occurred during the Italian Cup match between the two teams, which Sampdoria won on penalty kicks.
