The planned switch of an Italian league soccer match between AC Milan and Como from Milan to Perth has been cancelled due to “onerous conditions” from the Asian Football Confederation. Despite generating over $280 million in global media exposure, the Western Australia government and Serie A agreed to scrap the match due to financial risks and last-minute complications. This event would have marked the first top-tier European league game played outside its national borders. The cancellation follows similar controversies in other leagues, highlighting ongoing tensions in football governance.
