"The Technical Scientific Committee has approved the FIGC protocol for the resumption of team training for football clubs. It is excellent news, group training can resume," Spadafora said in an interview with national television "Rai".

The Technical Scientific Committee has accepted a new protocol that does not provide for sealed concentrations of several weeks in sports facilities and has eased requests in case of positive cases of coronavirus in the team.

"If there is a positive case, the infected person will be quarantined and the others can continue working, but under control. It is correct for football to resume under safe conditions," said Spadafora.

Initially, the Technical Scientific Committee ordered that the entire team be quarantined for fifteen days in case of a player testing positive for coronavirus, but revised this point at the request of the FIGC.

Clubs, who have been training with individual sessions since May 4, can now start with group exercises, which increases optimism about the possibility of resuming Serie A, which has been on hold since March 9.

"I have called (FIGC President Gabriele) Gravina and (Serie A President Paolo) Dal Pino on May 28 to decide a safe date to resume Serie A. If the championship resumes, it must be finished and all solutions are useful, including a playoff," said Spadafora.

"Doing what France did and abandoning everything would have been easier. But I did not want to make this decision, just as I did not want to give safe dates for a resumption when we did not have enough data. Now that we can, it is right to do it," he concluded.
