In recent days, tragic earthquakes have occurred in Turkey and Syria. They led to the death of thousands of people, among whom there are also athletes. The Turkish Football Federation also reported the deaths of the players. The earth also shook in Italy. Fortunately, the shaking was not strong.
Italy. Serie C match postponed due to earthquake
Around 80 tremors have been recorded in the Siena area in the last 24 hours. The strongest of them had a magnitude of 3.5 on the Richter scale. For this reason, many city residents left their homes and spent the night in cars in special parking lots that were prepared in open spaces. Fortunately, there were no serious accidents and no one was hurt.
For this reason, the Siena authorities have ordered that “museums, theaters and sports facilities will be closed until Sunday, February 12 inclusive. The cultural and sports events scheduled for this weekend are therefore postponed to a date to be determined.” One such event was the match of the 27th round of Group B in Serie C between Siena and Sassari Torres. After quick arrangements between the clubs and the league, the meeting was officially postponed to Wednesday 15 February.

In Group B of the Serie C competition, Siena is ranked seventh, which guarantees its play-offs for promotion to Serie B. At the same time, it is only four points ahead of the 11th place, which does not give such a chance. Sassari Torres, on the other hand, is in 13th place and has four points more than 16th place, which is associated with the fight to avoid relegation to the lower level of the competition.
