Stefano Vaccari opposes proposed football funding from sports betting
Italian MP Stefano Vaccari criticised a draft football reform bill that would direct 2% of sports betting turnover to the FIGC, saying it was wrong to make betting a structural source of funding for football. He also objected to using part of the proposed contribution to address gambling harm, arguing that prevention should be funded through public, health and social responsibilities.
The criticism adds opposition to a proposal to fund Italian football through sports betting.
