This historic match is set to take place around the time of the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics, which will be held at Milan's San Siro stadium on February 6.

According to the FIGC, the federal council has responded positively to the Italian league's request for the match to be played in Perth.

However, there are still several steps that need to be taken before the match can go ahead, including formal approval from the Australian association, UEFA, the Asian Football Confederation, and FIFA.

If all the necessary permissions are granted, it will be the first time that a Serie A match has been played outside Italy.

The new Serie A campaign is scheduled to start on the weekend of August 22-24.
