The Italian Olympic Committee [CONI] have confirmed that there will not be another delay to the start of the season.

The big kick off has already been put back two weeks because of the Calciopoli verdicts, but CONI chief Gianni Petrucci insists Juventus’ decision to fight on in the civil courts will not cause another hold-up.

“Postponement is not an option, the new season will start on September 9 as scheduled,” said Petrucci.

“We respect the TAR’s decisions, but I admit there are things that I fear more than an eventual delay in next season’s Serie A start.”

League President Antonio Matarrese had stated on Tuesday that the new season would not be delayed and that the fixtures would be drawn up on August 30.

Meanwhile, there is speculation that Juventus’ decision to appeal against their sporting sanctions to the Lazio TAR may result in punishment from FIFA.

The game’s world governing body could penalise individual clubs or even the national team should the demoted Italian giants turn to the civil justice system.
