A Serie A fixture involving Cagliari will become a test case for UEFA, with the European governing body using the matchday to assess the environmental and social footprint created around a top-flight Italian game.
A matchday under examination
The programme will measure the effects of the occasion beyond the pitch, examining how a Serie A matchday affects both the environment and the local social setting.
What UEFA will assess
- The environmental impact connected to staging the Serie A fixture.
- The social impact generated by the matchday.
- How the Cagliari game can serve as a practical trial for UEFA’s evaluation programme.
The initiative places the Cagliari encounter within a wider continental effort to understand the costs and consequences of football events, from the movement around a stadium to their effect on the communities hosting them.
