Youth Tournament Expels Both Teams After 13-Year-Old Was Attacked by Opponent’s Parent

A spectator video now guides the inquiry into the brawl.

Overview

  • Tournament organizers announced the exclusion of Volpiano-Pianese and Carmagnola, citing responsibility by both sides based on the referee’s report and video evidence.
  • The 40-year-old father who entered the field issued an apology and said earlier reconstructions were inaccurate, claiming he intervened to defend his son.
  • His lawyer, Beatrice Rinaudo, contends there was no takedown or kick and says they will present their account in the appropriate venues.
  • Police have reported the man for personal injuries, and the questura could impose a Daspo that would bar him from sporting events.
  • Volpiano-Pianese had already withdrawn its Under-14 team from the SuperOscar, and a sports judge is expected to rule Thursday on disciplinary measures for the youths involved.
