Serie A 2008/2009 schedule released

By: Francesco | May 28th, 2008

Today the Serie A 2008-2009 schedule was released. The season will begin on August 31st and end on May 31st. There will be three midweek rounds slated for September 24, October 29, and January 28. The winter break will be from December 21-January 11. Serie A will also come to a halt three times for the National Team, who will be undergoing World Cup 2010 qualifying. Those dates are September 7, October 12, and March 29.

The Coppa Italia will begin on August 9th, with the second round being played August 17th. The third round is August 23rd, and the fourth round will begin the 2 legged ties (September 18 and October 2nd). The Round of 16 will be November 12, and December 3, 10, and 17. The Quarter-finals will be January 21 and February 4th, with the semi-finals March 4 and April 22. The Final will be Wednesday May 13, 2009, at a venue yet to be decided.

The Italian SuperCup between Roma and Inter will be played on Sunday, August 24. The Lega Calcio has temporarily named San Siro as the venue, but both clubs have expressed interest in playing the game abroad, and New York (The Italians call it New York, but it’s really New Jersey-Giants Stadium) is the most likely venue. The SuperCoppa was held at Giants Stadium back in 2005, Juventus beat Milan on penalties. I was there and it was a great experience, I would love for it to be held here again.

  They may just go for it. The EPL downed a similar idea despite great reactions here. And heaven knows Lega Calcio would love to get back to the glory days.

  Joseph, they have nothing to do with Napoli games. It’s actually the Napoli president’s fault, who refuses to sell the rights to the games abroad, and therefore we don’t get to see them.

  Of course Supercoppa’s in the US at the exact time I’ll be tearing up and down from my in-laws in Salerno up to Rome up to Turin, then stopping in Chamonix on my annual vacation.

  Dammit.

  If the full Serie A schedule for 2008/2009 was released then where is it? You could at least post a link to the official site where it can be found. I’m still looking.

  I do not find any dates for the 2008/2009 season on the official web site [http://www.lega-calcio.it] or on any of the official team sites that I’ve checked so far. The latest that it posted is still from the 2007/2008. If the 2008/2009 season schedule has been announced please provide a link so we can view the details. I’m booking a trip to Milan and would like to know if Inter will be playing at home while I’m there. Thanks, T.
