Folgore Caratese and Carate Brianza stadium dispute

Overview

Folgore Caratese football club faced administrative hurdles regarding its Serie C debut at the XXV Aprile Stadium. Club president Michele Criscitiello reported that despite a private investment of approximately 3.4 million euros to upgrade the facility, bureaucratic delays caused by the summer holiday closure of the Carate Brianza municipality threatened to force the team to play its opening match away from home.

The situation escalated into a legal dispute between the club and the local government. The Municipality of Carate Brianza announced it would sue Criscitiello for aggravated defamation, describing his demands for expedited paperwork as “pretextual and arrogant.” In retaliation, Criscitiello indicated plans to file a complaint with the Public Prosecutor's Office of Monza, disputing claims made by Mayor Luca Veggian regarding the club's influence over fan protests.
