Overview
- Trapani has been excluded from Italy’s top basketball league by the Giudice Sportivo following the latest match that was treated as a de facto forfeit.
- All Trapani results this season are annulled, club players are immediately released from their contracts, and a €600,000 fine applies under federation rules.
- The Serie A field drops from 16 to 15 teams, producing one fewer relegation from A1 and a guaranteed end‑season repêchage in A2, with standings recalculated for midseason cutoffs.
- Coppa Italia qualification shifts as Trento falls out of the Final Eight, while Udine and Napoli take the last two places pending the result of Napoli–Milano.
- The collapse followed a registration freeze, mass departures, and prior penalties tied to contested Irpef/INPS payments via a third‑party scheme, alongside point deductions and multi‑year bans for president Antonini.
