Work at Arechi, the Italian Cup at risk – Sport

Work in progress at the Arechi Stadium. This is the ideal sign displayed outside the plant located in via Allende, where a race against time is underway to arrive with the best dress at the beginning of the A championship. The interventions to be done, however, are numerous. . So the Municipality and the club do not want to lose even a minute in view of the home debut scheduled for the second day of the tournament, on August 29 against Roma Mourinho. The club asked the League to debut in the top flight away from home, taking advantage of an extra week to limit the risks associated with any setbacks and problems of viability and safety.
Work has started inside the stadium for several weeks, starting with those necessary to meet the infrastructural criteria required by the FIGC and Lega. Priority is given to the lighting system, with the mobile light towers installed to reach the number of lux necessary for the green light, only at a later time will a new, more powerful system be built, without the need for “external” additions, but in the last ones days the workers are at work trying to solve many other issues. From the councilor for sport Angelo Caramanno continues to filter optimism, accompanied by the guarantee that “Salernitana will play the Serie A championship in its own stadium”.
However, it remains to be understood how the various interventions to fine-tune the Arechi will develop over the next month. Given the club’s promptly accepted request to make an away debut (22 August in Bologna), it is not taken for granted today that the first official match of the season, the 32nd of the Coppa Italia against Frosinone (scheduled for 15 August), will be played regularly in Salerno. Just as a pre-season friendly that Castori’s team should play in Salerno after the withdrawal of Cascia could also be at risk.
The progress of the works in the next few days will be decisive, for a series of interventions that will concern the adaptation of the benches, but above all a new entrance gate for the athletes, which will be positioned at the height of the midfield, at the foot of the grandstand, where you will arrive directly from the changing rooms after crossing an internal corridor opening. The press stand is also to be developed, without neglecting the removal of the nets behind the curves, and the installation of turnstiles to increase capacity.
