Officially: Fazoli banned for seven months for his involvement in the betting scandal

Niccolò Fazzoli has been at the center of the storm of late as he was caught up in the Italian betting scandal along with several other fellow footballers (including Niccolò Zaniolo and Sandro Tonali), however the Juventus midfielder saw there was no other way out Cooperation with the authorities and their selection.

In recent months, his illegal activities have come under the scrutiny of the authorities and he, in turn, had alerted Juventus to his problem with gambling addiction and sought a professional doctor for his case, taking into account all the above circumstances and his sentence would not be destructive.

Article 24 of the regulations imposes a three-year ban on football players who bet on football matches, but Fazoli cooperated from the outset with both the Turin prosecutor’s office and the Italian Football Federation and was able to enforce his sentence in a period shorter than one year.

Specifically, as the FIGC announced in a statement, the punishment for Fazoli will last 12 months, of which the player will not be on the field for seven months and of the other five months he is expected to attend some sessions as part of psychotherapy takes part while being asked to pay a fine of 12,500 euros.

A penalty that essentially represents a relief for Fazoli and gives him a second chance, with the 22-year-old Italian midfielder even having the opportunity to return to the pitch in time to take part in the final stages of Euro 2024 with the Italy international team jersey.
