New vice president Maurizio Fiori, representing the American investors who entered Cagliari Calcio in November, and Lega Calcio Serie A president Ezio Maria Simonelli will also attend the meeting on Cagliari's new stadium scheduled for tomorrow with UEFA . The meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the City Hall, in a potentially decisive meeting for the fate of the stadium, which is slated to replace the Sant'Elia stadium, which has been abandoned since June 2017.
Fiori's presence is no coincidence: it clearly demonstrates the new shareholders' strong commitment to the new stadium project . This is also because, as Giulini himself stated last week at the end of the League Assembly , with the green light for construction of the stadium, their shares would rise to a majority. The American fund is currently slightly behind the shares held by the Fluorsid group .
No less significant is the presence of the Lega Calcio Serie A and its president Simonelli, on his second visit to Cagliari after last August for the first Gigi Riva Trophy. They want to support the Rossoblu club in a delicate process that has been ongoing for over a decade (the first project dates back to December 2015), and to demonstrate the strong national interest in the construction of Cagliari's new stadium . The stalemate, following last week's developments, is over the concession fee: the Rossoblu club is offering €50,000, while the Municipality believes it should be more .
UEFA's delegate, Michele Uva, who is overseeing the project, is expected to attend the meeting . For Cagliari, Fiori will be joined by president Tommaso Giulini ( who will be in Zenica tonight for the Bosnia-Italy match, along with club ambassador Nicola Riva ), CEO Stefano Melis, lawyer Antonio Romei, technicians, and industrial partner Costim Real Estate. For the Municipality, Mayor Massimo Zedda , his deputy Maria Cristina Mancini, Sports Councilor Giuseppe Macciotta , and the relevant officials. Tomorrow, at 6 p.m., the discussion on the stadium will move to the City Council.
