Why Italian FA’s decision to campaign for Giulio Regeni puts AS Roma in a difficult position
Banners will be raised before each of next week-end’s the Serie A and Serie B games, though AS Roma could decide not to support the campaign.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the Serie A side are negotiating a new partnership with Egypt Tourism Ministry and Mohammed Salah is supposed to be the partnership’s testimonial.
In order to avoid diplomatic embarrassments situations, Egypt FA’s vice-president Ado Rida has reportedly asked AS Roma not to support the campaign or to take part in a different way, such as having the banner lifted by kids rather than footballers or showing it on the stadium’s screens rather than on the pitch.
