Serie a title race could be decided by play offs after coronavirus suspension italian fa confirms
A dramatic twist in the Serie A title race!
Yes, you're correct. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has confirmed that the Serie A title race could be decided by a playoff system if the season is suspended due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, the FIGC said: "In the event of a suspension of the championship, the title will be awarded to the team that wins a playoff tournament, with the top four teams in the standings at the time of suspension participating."
This means that if the season is halted and cannot be completed, the top four teams in the standings at the time of suspension will compete in a mini-tournament to determine the champion. The team that wins the playoff tournament will be crowned the Serie A champion.
This decision was made to ensure that the season is completed in a fair and transparent manner, despite the unprecedented circumstances caused by the pandemic.
The Serie A title race is currently led by Juventus, who are followed closely by Inter Milan, Lazio, and Atalanta. The top four teams are all within a few points of each other, making the playoff scenario a very real possibility.
It's a dramatic twist in the Serie A title race, and fans will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of the season, whenever it may be completed.
