Overview
- The CONI Giunta and then the Consiglio are set to decide whether Giovanni Malagò’s June election is invalid because he lacked a valid tesseramento at the time of his win, a technical registration required by some jurists.
- Jurists briefed by CONI and the procura generale dello sport say the missing tesseramento may invalidate the vote, while lawyers for Malagò argue the rule is not essential or that the defect is not grave enough to trigger sanctions.
- Procedural disputes over who may participate and vote in Giunta and Consiglio meetings, and whether votes will be secret, could shape the outcome and the legal reviewability of any decision.
- If CONI moves to remove or commissary the FIGC, both sides expect immediate challenges to the Collegio di Garanzia dello Sport and appeals to the TAR seeking suspension and reversal of the measure.
- The dispute is politically charged because stadium choices and Euro 2032 planning link public and commercial interests to the federation conflict, increasing pressure on decision makers and the chance the fight will spill into courts and government debates.
