A historic event could take Serie A beyond Italy's borders: the Milan-Como showdown, scheduled for the weekend of February 7-8, 2026, could be played in Perth, Western Australia. According to reports from The Athletic, the Lega Serie A is reportedly concretely considering this possibility, which would mark an unprecedented moment for Italian soccer. Underlying the choice would also be a logistical necessity: the San Siro stadium, Milan's traditional home, will in fact be occupied for the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, scheduled for February 6. This constraint would thus open the door to an international alternative. The idea of taking Serie A abroad is not new. Already in recent months, League President Ezio Maria Simonelli had called the possibility of an official match played in New York “stimulating”.
