Serie A Given Green Light to Return on June 20

Serie A has been given the green light to return on June 20, per Italy's sports minister Vincenzo Spadafora.

Spadafora reached the decision Thursday during a video conference with Italian soccer authorities. He said Serie A will restart on June 20, though the Italian Cup semifinals and the final could be played on June 13 and 17.

Clubs voted earlier this month to restart on June 13 but the government extended its ban on sporting events until June 14.

The season has been halted since March 9 when Italy went into lockdown in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
