Fines For Genoa And Atalanta, Serie A Matchday 30 Sanctions

Italian football’s disciplinary body has handed down a series of sanctions following the latest round of Serie A fixtures, with fines issued to clubs and multiple players suspended after the 11th matchday of the season’s second half.

The Sports Judge, Gerardo Mastrandrea, confirmed the decisions after reviewing matches played between March 20 and 22, which saw results including a 1–0 win for Atalanta over Hellas Verona, Lazio’s 2–0 victory against Bologna, and AC Milan’s narrow 3–2 triumph over Torino.

While several clubs, including Atalanta, Bologna, Cagliari, Fiorentina, Genoa and Napoli, were found to have supporters who used pyrotechnics such as flares and smoke bombs, most avoided punishment due to mitigating circumstances under the Sporting Justice Code. However, Genoa CFC were fined €3,000 after fans threw smoke bombs onto the pitch, while Atalanta BC received a €2,000 fine for objects thrown into the playing area.

On the field, four players received one-match suspensions for accumulated disciplinary offences. Keinan Davis (Udinese), Alberto Dossena (Cagliari), Mariano Troilo (Parma) and Carlos Augusto (Inter) were all banned after reaching the threshold for yellow card infractions or dissent.

Several other players moved closer to suspension, with cautions issued across the league. Notable names included Nicolò Barella (Inter), Fikayo Tomori (Milan), Moise Kean (Fiorentina) and Federico Dimarco (Inter), reflecting a physically contested round of fixtures.

Disciplinary action extended beyond players, with Emanuele Mancini of Genoa handed a one-match touchline ban after directing a disrespectful comment at the referee during his side’s defeat to Udinese. Bologna head coach Vincenzo Italiano was also cautioned.

Parma official Alessio Cracolici received a one-match suspension after leaving the technical area to protest a refereeing decision.

The Italian league confirmed that all fines will be charged directly to clubs via their championship accounts, as the governing body continues to clamp down on misconduct both on and off the pitch.

The rulings come at a crucial stage of the Serie A season, with teams battling for European qualification and survival, ensuring disciplinary records could prove decisive in the weeks ahead.
