The Italian Football Association examines the opportunity to request a vaccination obligation for professional footballers. We have a share of about four to five percent of the players who have no vaccination pass. For some of them, however, this is the case because they have received a vaccination certificate not recognized in our country, said the Italian bidding boss Gabriele Graving. If numbers come out, after which safety is not guaranteed in football, we will demand ad hoc measures by the government, as it was done at school staff, says Graving. The Cabinet of Prime Minister Mario Draghi had decided on Wednesday that teachers must be vaccinated from 15 December. Only vaccinated or geneses have access to the stadiums from 6 December, in which up to 75 percent of the seats may be occupied.
