This is the first match of Pro Piacenza since the postponement of its last three games because of financial problems. According to BBC Sport, the team had not paid its members since August. The club was also forced to nominate Nicola Cirigliano, 18, player-coach for the match.

The result of Sunday's match was an "insult to the sport," said Italian Football Federation President Gabriele Gravina.
