The AC Milan Women team published an open letter to the fans asking them to attend their first ever Coppa Italia final, on Sunday, 30, against AS Roma, at the Mapei Stadium.
Recently the FIGC announced a limited fan attendance at the match, with up to 20% of the venue total capacity allowed in the stadium for free.
Here the complete letter:
Dear fans,
We have missed you a great deal, really so much.
We haven't been able to see you in the stands but we have kept you in our hearts during every game, throughout every difficult moment this season and, together, we have reached our goal; we're playing Champions League football too.
As Stefano Pioli said, "We're missing your arms raised to the sky, your support when the game starts... One day, this will be all but a memory. The empty stands will be just a sad page in history." That day is here.
We're writing this letter to you because we finally have the chance to be together once more, to experience that sheer emotion that only you can bring us.
We're writing because we're tired of imagining you in the stands.
We're writing because it's your support that drives us to get to the ball when we feel the fatigue in our legs.
We're writing because, when we suffer, we know that you will always grit your teeth with us.
We're writing because we want to celebrate with you when the ball crosses the line.
Now more than ever, we require your support, your strength and your roar.
On Sunday 30 May, we have a football match, and we have a date with history. This could be the first-ever title for the girls and therefore yet another title for our Club.
Because we know that we're stronger together.
We're waiting for you,
The AC Milan Women's First Team
