The challenge to stay in Serie A will be played at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia and not at the Dacia Arena in Udine. The decision was confirmed by the Lega Serie A with a note: the challenge will start at 20.45 on Sunday 11 June.

Just considerations of public order had sunk the hypothesis of playing in Friuli. From Liguria there were also political protests against the choice of a destination much further from La Spezia than from Verona.
