“Football is the winner today, with regards to consistency,” FIGC President Gabriele Gravina told reporters after the meeting.
“From the outset, we all supported the need to stay in the international scene.
“Italy is one of the big five leagues in European football. We made the decision to finish our competitions and we’ll continue on this path.
“Today, football has shown consistency. I’m convinced there will be great togetherness and that we’ll coordinate like we’ve always done with all our stakeholders, including Lega Serie A, which doesn’t come out as the loser in all of this.
“In the event of a stop, we’ve planned a new format with playoffs and playouts, like UEFA asked for.
“The pitch aside, there’s no better solution than to contest playoffs and playouts.
“A mini-tournament is always better than an algorithm, which has been clarified anyway: it’s a weighted average that takes into account the weight derived from the average number of points picked up at home and away from home, multiplied by the remaining games.
“Lega Serie A has approved and accepted it, even though we hope we won’t need it.”
