# Sports venue restrictions in Trapani province > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/sports-venue-restrictions-in-trapani-province > Updated: 2026-09-17T05:58:54.000Z. Sources: 26. Developments: 2. Sports teams in the Trapani province are experiencing significant venue changes and spectator restrictions due to safety and security concerns. Trapani Calcio initially planned to relocate home matches to the Mokarta field in Erice after the Prefect of Palermo, Massimo Mariani, issued an ordinance banning ticket sales at the Paolo Borsellino Velodromo. The Prefect cited potential public order disturbances stemming from the rivalry between Palermo and Trapani supporters. While club president Valerio Antonini expressed intentions to upgrade the Mokarta facility, bureaucratic delays prevented its immediate use. By mid-September, these restrictions expanded across the region. The Serie D match between Trapani and Nuova Igea Virtus was moved to Campo ‘G. Matranga’ in Castellammare del Golfo due to stadium unavailability and a lack of safety certification; authorities mandated the match be played behind closed doors. Additionally, Handball Erice was forced to play without a public audience at the Pino Cardella sports hall pending necessary safety interventions. As of September 20, the Serie D fourth round continues to face logistical challenges, with the Trapani vs. Nuova Igea Virtus fixture confirmed to proceed at Campo G. Matranga under the same behind-closed-doors mandate. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: Italian football leagues prepare for upcoming matchdays Italian football updates include Serie D match schedules, security-related ticket bans for Potenza-Cavese, and Trapani playing behind closed doors due to stadium issues. 22 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/trapani-sports-teams-face-venue-changes-and-closed-door-matches ### 2026-09-02: Trapani Calcio to move home matches to Erice Trapani Calcio will move home matches to the Mokarta field in Erice after Palermo authorities banned spectators at the Paolo Borsellino Velodromo due to security and rivalry concerns. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/trapani-calcio-to-move-home-matches-to-erice --- Cite as: Sports venue restrictions in Trapani province.
