Avellino fans face potential travel ban to Cesena following stadium clashes

Authorities are considering a ban on Avellino fans traveling to Cesena following violent clashes outside the Partenio-Lombardi stadium during a recent match against Sampdoria. The incidents involved clashes between supporters and law enforcement, with specific involvement noted from Bari supporters.

Investigators are currently reviewing surveillance footage to identify those responsible. The National Observatory on Sporting Events has reportedly suspended ticket sales for the away sector for the upcoming Cesena match pending a final decision.

Local police officials have already identified several individuals for potential Daspo (stadium bans). Witnesses reported the use of firecrackers and smoke bombs during the unrest. A final determination from the Ministry of the Interior regarding travel restrictions for Avellino supporters is expected in the coming days.
