By “DAZN”, until the decision to postpone the match came because a fire broke out in the dressing rooms.

The fire was said to be small but rapidly spreading.

Both teams were evacuated so that fire services could enter and extinguish the fire, but given that it was lit by the electrical system, there is fear of more potential problems and should be investigated, especially in a stadium that holds thousands of people.

According to Italian media, journalists understood that something was not right only when Empoli player Tommaso Baldanzi sought to use the toilet in the stadium's press area “Carlo Castellani”.
