AC Milan’s Serie A match against Como in February could become the first European league fixture to be played abroad after plans to host the fixture in Australia were announced. <\/b><\/p>\n
Italy’s football federation (FIGC) revealed plans on Thursday to play the match in Perth. <\/p>\n
However, the fixture would need the approval from Fifa, Uefa, Football Australia and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).<\/p>\n
The FIGC said it has given a “positive opinion” to the Serie A plan, adding: “This brings closer what would be a historic ‘trip’ abroad for a Serie A match.”<\/p>\n
But it also acknowledged that the plan would involve a “complex authorisation procedure” to gain approval from the other bodies.<\/p>\n
Fifa’s rules do not allow domestic league matches to be played abroad but last year it set up a working group<\/a> to look into the matter.<\/p>\n Last year, La Liga said it wanted to hold Barcelona v Atletico Madrid in Miami before dropping the idea because of time constraints.<\/p>\n
