Sky Sport Suspends Two Interns for On-Air Goal Celebration

Director Federico Ferri pledges stricter checks on staff behavior, including social profiles, to enforce impartiality.

Overview

  • The interns received a one-week suspension and are due back at work on Monday, November 10.
  • The incident occurred on November 2 during Sky Sport 24 as presenter Luca Tommassini reported Verona–Inter live.
  • The celebration followed Inter’s 93rd‑minute 2–1 winner, recorded as an own goal by Frese after a Nicolò Barella cross.
  • In a sharply worded internal letter, Ferri condemned the scene as unprofessional and warned of tighter oversight of conduct in studios and at stadiums.
  • Reports citing internal sources say the interns worked on Sky’s social channels, a detail not independently confirmed, as the viral clip fueled a divided public reaction.
