Frosinone goalkeeper Stefano Turati has been handed a one-match Italian league ban for making profanity during the 2023-24 season opener, the Italian Football League announced on Tuesday.
After viewing and analyzing the images and audios of the meeting between Frosinone and Napoli won 3-1 by the defending champion on Saturday, the follower commission established that Turati “had uttered a blasphemous expression, audible and identifiable, without reasonable doubt”, she explained.
“As a result, he must be sanctioned as provided for in article 37, paragraph 1 of the Code of Sports Justice of the Italian Federation with a match suspension,” the statement continued. The religious insult used by Turati, 21, in the 15th minute of play, is not specified. This provision of the Serie A regulations was applied in March 2021 against legendary Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
