Serie a Leads Negotiations of Italy's new Decree On Gambling Sponsorships
The Chamber of Deputies has begun debates at the Palazzo on whether to change or annul the guidelines of the Dignity Decree of 2018, which bans gaming sponsorships in Italian sports.
The initial step towards revising the Dignity Decree follows the Senate's Culture Commission, which backed a March 5 resolution focused on helping Italian football.
However, the Senate's endorsement does not correspond to passing a law. Instead, it requires the Deputies to talk about the effect of the Dignity Decree's sponsorship restriction, which has been in impact because 2019.
For any changes to work, the federal government must determine the regards to a new decree, which will either annul or customize the gambling-related laws of the Dignity Decree. These laws were presented by the short-term Lega Nord and 5Star coalition government as a federal mandate.
As an outcome, settlements have begun on drafting brand-new guidelines under a "Decree on Gambling Sponsorships." However, the scope of the decree will be restricted only to sponsorships and will not consist of changes to the wider gambling advertising ban or other gambling constraints enforced by the Dignity Decree.
The first phase of settlements will be led by Minister Maurizio Leo, Deputy Minister of the Economy and Finance, alongside Sports Minister Andrea Abodi. They are set to satisfy Serie A league authorities, led by newly elected President Ezio Simonelli.
Since 2019, Serie A football clubs have criticised the federal application of the Dignity Decree, arguing that it bypassed legislative requirements. The decree is estimated to have actually cost the football market at least EUR100 million yearly, with clubs having a hard time to complete economically with Europe's leading leagues.
The settlements for a new decree are viewed as an early test for Ezio Simonelli as the new President of Serie A.
