Serie A 2006/2007 logo

The Serie A 2006/2007 season (officially "Serie A TIM 2006/2007") began September 10, 2006. It was scheduled to begin on August 26 and 27, but was then postponed due to the Serie A scandal of 2006. It is the 104th Italian championship ever held, the first without the presence of Juventus F.C., and the 75th Serie A league, the first being held in 1929. On April 22, 2007 Internazionale became the Serie A champions after beating Siena, as AS Roma's loss to Atalanta left Inter with a 16-point advantage with five games to play.

Events

The scandal

Main article: 2006 Serie A scandal

Following the Serie A scandal of 2006, Juventus F.C., ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio were relegated to Serie B, whereas A.C. Milan were deducted 15 points but were not relegated, and consequently U.S. Lecce, F.C. Messina Peloro and Treviso F.B.C. 1993, originally slated for relegation to Serie B, were to have been retained in Serie A, thereby keeping the top table at 20 teams.

Fiorentina, Juventus, Lazio and Milan all lodged appeals. As a result, Fiorentina and Lazio were reinstated to the Serie A, but with 15 points and 11 points deductions for each team respectively. Milan's penalty was reduced to 8 points. Juventus remained relegated to Serie B with a points deduction of 17. Lecce and Treviso returned to Serie B, while Messina remained in Serie A to replace Juventus.

As part of another inquiry, Reggina Calcio was handed a 15-point penalty, but was allowed to remain in Serie A. [1] The inquiry is continuing to investigate Messina, Lecce, and A.C. Siena.

League halting of February 2007

Main article: 2007 Catania football violence

On February 2, 2007, police officer Filippo Raciti was killed outside the Stadio Angelo Massimino, Catania, in football-related violence during the Sicilian derby between rivals Catania and Palermo [1]. The match, originally scheduled for February 4 at 3pm, was exceptionally advanced on Friday at 6pm under request of Catania Calcio because of the simultaneity with the St. Agatha local celebrations.

The dramatic Sicilian derby events, which followed the passing of Ermanno Licursi, an amateur club manager, beaten to death during a riot in a Terza Categoria league match, led Commissioner Luca Pancalli to call a stop to all football matches in Italy, including Serie A fixtures. Pancalli noted how the league fixtures would not start again till a solution to the violence issue in Italian football is found. The week after, a special law by the government enforced the measures to be taken against violence in football stadia and forbade the presence of supporters inside stadia which didn't agree with mandatory security dispositions, thus enabling Italian football to go on with half of the matches played without audience.

Following the events, Catania was prohibited to play its home matches at Stadio Angelo Massimino for the remaining part of the season, and the club was also forced to play its home matches in neutral grounds without spectators (a porte chiuse, behind closed doors). Several other Italian stadia were closed too because of security reasons, and reopened only once they would have passed several safety requirements. All stadiums were successfully reopened for April, with Stadio Massimino's exception. Catania's home matches were successively allowed to be attended by spectators, yet on neutral ground, as from May 13.

Dominant Inter

With their victory over Siena on April 22, 2007, Internazionale captured the 2006-07 Serie A title (the 15th Scudetto in the team's history) by moving 16 points clear of second-place Roma with 5 matches to play. Internazionale's dominant effort marked the defense of the title they were awarded in the wake of the Calciopoli scandal, and their first Scudetto claimed on the field since May 28, 1989[2]. Clinching with five matches remaining, Internazionale tied the Serie A record for earliest title claim.

Relegation battle

With Messina and Ascoli already relegated, there was only one relegation slot left to be decided in the last matchday, with Parma (39 points), Chievo (39), Catania (38), Siena (37) and Reggina (37) involved in the battle. The key match in the relegation battle was widely expected to be Catania vs Chievo, to be played in Bologna because of the forced closure of Stadio Angelo Massimino by the Italian Football Federation following the February 2007 infamous riots in the Sicilian derby. The match ended in a 2-0 win for the Sicilian side; due to the contemporary wins of Parma, Siena and Reggina, Chievo relegated to Serie B.

1. Since both Coppa Italia finalists (Roma and Internazionale) are guaranteed a UEFA Champions League spot, the UEFA Cup spot awarded to the Coppa Italia winner or Coppa Italia runner-up will instead be awarded to the 7th-positioned team, and the 8th-positioned team will be awarded entry to the UEFA Intertoto Cup. However Atalanta cannot enter the competition due to not being granted a European licence. Because of this, the 9th placed team, Sampdoria will be granted entry to the Intertoto Cup.[3]
