JAKARTA - The Italian Football Federation FIGC announced that all football matches in Italy, including Serie A, will remain suspended until June 14.

Team training for the Serie A clubs resumed on Monday and the league hopes that competition can resume on June 13.

However, the FIGC announced in a statement on Monday evening it was harmonizing with a decree signed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte which suspended all sporting events and competitions until a day later.

That means Italy's top competitions will not be able to resume until June 15 at the earliest.
