HANOI (8 April 2013) – Italian giant AS Roma have called off their planned trip to Hanoi this June citing scheduling as the major stumbling block to their trip east.
The change in the schedule for the Coppa Italia semi-finals and the Italian team’s need to prepare for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil this summer prevented the team’s trip.
“We received notice from AS Roma that they will have to play Inter Milan in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals on 17 April,” said Mae Mua, the FIFA agent who is arranging the trip. “And should they make the final, it will be in June.”
