The much-anticipated schedule for Serie A Week 37 has finally been confirmed, with all matches slated for Sunday, May 17th, commencing at 11:00 AM UK time (12:00 PM CEST). The fixture list had been in considerable disarray for several days, as the final two rounds require all teams competing for similar objectives to play simultaneously. This measure is in place to prevent any team from gaining an unfair advantage by knowing their rivals’ results.
Given the extremely close race for Champions League qualification, this stipulation means that Roma, Juventus, Milan, Como, and Napoli will all be kicking off at the same time. Following days of discussions, rulings, and counter-rulings from various governing bodies, an agreement was reached this evening.
The matches Roma vs. Lazio, Juventus vs. Fiorentina, Genoa vs. Milan, Como vs. Parma, and Pisa vs. Napoli are all scheduled to start at the unusual hour of 11:00 AM UK time (12:00 PM CEST). This early start provides a buffer between the Rome Derby and the final of the Italian Open men’s singles tennis tournament, which is being held at the Foro Italico, adjacent to the Stadio Olimpico, at 4:00 PM UK time (5:00 PM CEST) on Sunday.
The games crucial for the relegation battle will all commence at 7:45 PM UK time (8:45 PM CEST). Meanwhile, Inter’s match against Verona is scheduled for the afternoon and will include the Serie A trophy ceremony, followed by a celebratory open-top bus parade through the city.
