The Italian championship match between Milan and Como will not take place in the Australian city of Perth. This was reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

According to the source, partiesrival talks that were close to completion in recent weeks have effectively broken down.

It is noted that Milan and Serie A made every effort to realize this idea – the match was seen as a commercial and strategic move to popularize the Italian championship in Australia. However, the conditions put forward by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which was to host the game, prevented a final agreement.

The match of the 24th round of Serie A between Milan and Como is scheduled to take place on February 8.
