Juventus will play Chievo with the Curva Sud closed after losing the final appeal against a ban.

The Bianconeri received the partial stadium ban after one of their supporters threw an explosive device into a crowd of Torino fans during the Derby della Mole on April 28.

Juve lodged several appeals, arguing the fan was identified and punished, while he did not have a valid ticket or necessary ‘Fan Passport’ to be allowed in.

Juve lodged several appeals, arguing the fan was identified and punished, while he did not have a valid ticket or necessary ‘Fan Passport’ to be allowed in.

Therefore they felt it was Torino’s fault for allowing the hooligan into the stadium without the proper security checks.

However, the final appeal was rejected today, so Juventus will have to play their next home game against Chievo with the Curva Sud closed.

It is likely the club will ask for permission to fill the stands with children who can enter free of charge, something that has proved successful in the past during partial stadium bans.
