Italy court backs Serie A in broadcast rights row with SKY - sources


MILAN (Reuters) - An Italian court has backed a petition filed by Italy's top flight soccer league Serie A in a legal row with its broadcast rights holder SKY over the non-payment of an instalment during the COVID-19 pandemic, two sources said on Wednesday.

Serie A restarted in June after a three-month stoppage due to the health emergency but SKY, currently Serie A's leading domestic rights holder, suspended a 130 million euro ($146.82 million) instalment relating to the 2019-20 season.
