Overview

• On July 31, Genoa staff refused to sell season tickets to Alberto Zangrillo and his child, labeling them unwelcome under the club’s eligibility rules.
• Zangrillo, who led the club until December 2024 and remains an advisor, described the episode as humiliating and lodged his denunciation with the Nucleo Polizia Economica e Finanziaria on August 1.
• Genoa’s majority owner, Dan Sucu, has invoked Italian regulations allowing clubs to bar anyone deemed harmful, a provision cited in the ticket refusal.
• The dispute reflects broader tensions after creditor A-Cap’s repeated but unsuccessful challenges to Sucu’s December 2024 capital increase.
• Neither Zangrillo nor Genoa’s management has issued any public comment, leaving the reasons for the blacklist unexplained.
