MILAN (Reuters) - Italian football's new policy of ordering partial stadium closures to punish anti-Naples chanting has backfired and needs to be reconsidered, Serie A president Maurizio Beretta said in an interview on Wednesday.

Several clubs have been punished this season for anti-Naples chanting by fans, an offence officially termed "territorial discrimination", even at matches at which Napoli have not been playing.
