The highly anticipated Torino vs Juventus Serie A finale was delayed from its scheduled 20:45 kickoff following violent clashes between rival fan groups, leaving one supporter in critical condition.

The final match of the Serie A season between Torino and Juventus faced an unexpected hurdle this evening. Originally scheduled for 20:45, the match was postponed to 21:45 due to security concerns after serious confrontations erupted among fans outside the stadium. The incident resulted in one Juventus supporter being rushed to hospital in serious condition.

Juventus, vying for a Champions League spot, now faces an uncertain start to what should have been a decisive evening. Juventus president Damien Comolli confirmed on DAZN that fans in the Juventus section urged captain Manuel Locatelli not to play the match amid the distressing situation. The Italian league had deliberately scheduled the Torino-Juventus game alongside other high-stakes matches in Milan, Como, and Rome, all competing for the final two Champions League qualification spots.
