Chai! Na wah! As e be so, di highly anticipated Serie A match between Milan and Como wey dey run for Perth, Australia don jam brick wall! Dis one na real shocker, as di league president and Western Australia government don come out together talk say dem don cancel di match.
Omo, dis match suppose make history as di first European league game wey go happen for outside dem country but no be small wahala come dey o! OMG, di conditions wey di Asian Football Confederation (AFC) put, no be am, dem talk say make everytin follow proper, as dem need approval from FIFA, FIGC, and others.
Di Serie A president, Ezio Maria Simoncelli, don already dey express im doubts about dem AFC conditions but still dey hope say dat match go fit hold. Eyin members of di government talk say na financial issues and last-minute wahala make dem cancel am. Na so e be, dem no go fit expose Western Australia to unnecessary risk.
Di match dey planned for February 8, 2026 wey dey be like say na di beginning of di Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, wey make di San Siro stadium no available. Wetin we fit do now? E be like say we go just dey watch di action from afar!
Na serious plenti posh dey surround dis match as di government don dey make effort to bring am to Perth but dem no fit meet di difficult conditions wey AFC dey set. Rita Saffioti, di sport and recreation minister come talk say e dey really disappointing but dem no fit take di risk.
Na so much tension dey build around how football fit waka abroad. With dis wahala, na so we dey see say La Liga too don cancel dia own match wey dem plan for Miami because fans no gree dem do am. All of dem wan promote dia brand, but dem still get to respect di fans wey dey support dem.
Me I just dey think, how e go be if dis Milan-Como match happen, dem for fit run some real serious promotion and sabi market dem selves well! So, fans dey really miss out on a golden opportunity to witness world-class football action for di land down under! E be like say wego just keep dey gbadun di match for our TV screen until dem fit find anoda venue or arrange another match for di future.
Di whole issue dey remind us of di challenges wey dey follow when we wan try cross borders for major football competitions. E dey show say no be just to collect approval and move to another country, di politics and financial aspect dey very important too. Na so e go be as di football world dey continue dey navigate dis wahala!
