The tragic passing of Fiorentina’s president now presents a difficult choice: an official decision is expected in the coming hours

“It is with great pain and sadness that the Commisso family—including his wife Catherine, his children Giuseppe and Marisa, and his sisters Italia and Raffaelina—announce the passing of President Rocco B. Commisso. After a prolonged period of medical treatment, our beloved President has left us, and today we all mourn his passing.” With this statement, Fiorentina announced President Commisso’s passing overnight. The news, which has shocked the soccer world and Fiorentina fans in particular, now raises another question: Will the match between Bologna and Fiorentina, scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, January 18, at 3:00 p.m., take place?

At the moment, there has been no official statement from Fiorentina nor any official decision from Serie A. Given the schedules of the two teams—which are currently still competing in three different tournaments—it is difficult to imagine the match being rescheduled before March. A final decision is expected in the coming hours.
