Serie a Leads Negotiations of Italy's new Decree On Gambling Sponsorships

The Chamber of Deputies has actually begun arguments at the Palazzo on whether to amend or annul the guidelines of the Dignity Decree of 2018, which prohibits gaming sponsorships in Italian sports.


The initial step toward modifying the Dignity Decree follows the Senate's Culture Commission, which endorsed a March 5 resolution targeted at helping Italian football.


However, the Senate's endorsement does not equate to passing a law. Instead, it requires the Deputies to discuss the impact of the Dignity Decree's sponsorship ban, which has been in effect considering that 2019.


For any modifications to work, the federal government must figure out the regards to a brand-new decree, which will either annul or modify the gambling-related laws of the Dignity Decree. These laws were introduced by the brief Lega Nord and 5Star coalition federal government as a federal required.


As an outcome, negotiations have actually begun on preparing new guidelines under a "Decree on Gambling Sponsorships." However, the scope of the decree will be limited only to sponsorships and will not include changes to the wider gambling marketing ban or other gambling constraints enforced by the Dignity Decree.


The very first stage of negotiations will be led by Minister Maurizio Leo, Deputy Minister of the Economy and Finance, alongside Sports Minister Andrea Abodi. They are set to meet Serie A league authorities, led by freshly elected President Ezio Simonelli.


Since 2019, Serie A football clubs have actually criticised the federal application of the Dignity Decree, arguing that it bypassed legislative requirements. The decree is estimated to have actually cost the football industry a minimum of EUR100 million each year, with clubs struggling to complete economically with Europe's leading leagues.
