Serie C: Brescia, Lucchese and Spal excluded, Caldiero Terme and Pro Patria readmitted

Brescia, Lucchese and Spal are the only Serie C clubs excluded from the next championship. Brescia and Lucchese have not even submitted an application for registration, allowing Caldiero Terme and Pro Patria – losers in the playouts – to be readmitted to Lega Pro. The case of Spal is different, because the club from via Copparo sent incomplete documentation. Effectively gifting Serie C to Inter's second team, which would not have had the right to participate in the tournament if Spal had not submitted an application like Brescia and Lucchese. A controversial regulation to say the least, which last season allowed Milan Futuro to land in Lega Pro at the expense of Ancona. Spal will be able to submit an appeal contesting Covisoc's rejection until Tuesday 17 June, while waiting for the Federal Council on Thursday 19 June. In reality, however, around via Copparo the most important day is looming on Monday 16 June, when the Board of Directors will be held that could clarify the future of Joe Tacopina's Spal. By the way, the New York lawyer is in Italy, but his arrival in Ferrara is not expected. And the Board of Directors will be held via conference call.
