MILAN - Lecce's Serie A game with bitter
southern Italian rivals Bari on January 6 will be played behind
closed doors because of security worries, the home side said in
a statement on Wednesday.
The rivalry on Italy's heel between Serie A's two bottom
sides is one of the hottest in the country and police have acted
following a series of incidents.
Last month Lecce's Souleymane Diamoutene was accosted by his
own fans at a training session because he used to play for Bari
while former Bari coach Antonio Conte was attacked on a beach
near Lecce two years ago.
