Italian football clubs initially announced ticket pre-sale schedules for upcoming Serie BKT and Serie C matches, including the fixture between Avellino and Palermo at the Stadio Partenio – Lombardi.

Following these announcements, Lega B rescheduled the Avellino-Palermo match from 15:00 to 17:15 to protect player health against high temperatures. The decision was prompted by a recent dehydration crisis involving a Pisa midfielder and concerns that the synthetic turf at the Partenio-Lombardi stadium retains more heat than natural grass. Other scheduled matches in venues with natural grass surfaces were not affected by the change.
