The Return to play, i.e. the timing and procedures necessary for the return of the players to competitive practice after the negativization by Covid. But also the resumption of the championships after the stop. And the knot of the green pass strengthened for the youth sectors.

These are some of the dossiers on the table of Giuseppe Ruzza, the president of the Regional Committee of the FIGC. Dossier that Ruzza shares step by step with the other presidents of the regional committees and with the extraordinary commissioner of the National Amateur League, Giancarlo Abete. Two summits have already been held on December 30 and January 5, the next one is already set for Friday, when a further point will be made on the situation in the light of the pandemic evolution.

The record surge in infections has prompted all the committees to suspend their activity. Venetian amateur football has decided to stop until January 23, with the resumption of tournaments from Excellence down, set for January 30.

“During the meetings with the other presidents”, assures Ruzza, “the will to resume activity emerged strongly, favoring in an absolute sense the championships that will have to be concluded by re-establishing the meritocratic aspect, together with sporting merit”. In short, there is all the will to complete the season. The decision made in the summer to reduce the groups to 14 teams was providential, because it will allow the stop of these weeks to be amortized without too many jolts. If anything, the big problem for the clubs is that of Return to play and the wait of 30 days from negativization before a player can obtain the new sports fitness certification. “This represents the problem of the problems”, confirms Ruzza, “The deputies (sports and governmental, including the Ministry of Health) have already been invested for a prompt resolving intervention in favor of reducing waiting times, in consideration that the current provision was born even when vaccination was not so widespread ». An assist comes from the Italian Sports Medical Federation, which has developed a new Return to play protocol, based on the most recent medical evidence showing that post-Covid heart complications, in particular my pericarditis, are rare in young athletes and resolve in short. The document takes into account the progress of the vaccination campaign. The objective, in agreement with the Coni, is to favor the resumption of sporting activity in safety, but limiting the necessary diagnostic tests and the related costs. Finally, the concern about the impact on the youth sectors of the extension of the reinforced green pass. “During the meetings”, Ruzza concludes, “the educational and training aspect of sporting activity was reiterated and, consequently, doubts were expressed regarding the mandatory nature of the reinforced green pass for over 12s, which would cause a defection certain of practitioners, given the lower percentage of vaccinated than adults “. –
