AC Milan vs Como Perth Match Cancelled
AC Milan and Como were supposed to play a big football match in Perth, Australia.
This would have been the first time a major European league game was played outside of Europe.
But the match was cancelled because of some problems.
The Asian Football Confederation made some rules that were hard to follow, and there were also money issues.
The stadium in Milan, San Siro, was not available because it was being used for the Winter Olympics.
So, the teams and the organizations decided it was better to cancel the match.
AC Milan vs Como Serie A match in Perth, Australia, was cancelled due to financial risks and last-minute complications.
The match was intended to be the first major European domestic league game played outside its home country.
Cancellation was announced by Serie A and the Western Australian government on December 22, 2025.
The Asian Football Confederation imposed conditions that made it impossible to hold the match.
The San Siro stadium in Milan was unavailable due to the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
