Stop to magistrates in sports justice
One of the most significant new measures – introduced during the parliamentary process – concerns the justice bodies of federations whose professional clubs are subject to the controls of the Independent Commission for the verification of economic-financial balance: from now on magistrates — ordinary, administrative, accounting — will no longer be allowed to be part of it.
The decree also intervenes on the governance of the Commission itself: until December 31, 2026, it will be able to stabilize non-managerial seconded staff, and the share of federation revenues allocated to it will be paid directly by Sport e Salute Spa to the federations, simplifying the financial flow.

TV rights, Serie C enters the distribution
The destination of 1% of the audiovisual rights resources, which the original text reserved for the women’s Serie A, changes by removing the reference to the FIGC for the territorial federal centers. The Chamber’s amendment then split the share (about 10 million euros) in half: 0.5% to the women’s Serie A, 0.5% to Serie C, tied to the development of male and female youth sectors, investments in infrastructure, and coach training. A further 10% remains allocated to youth sectors and the training of players eligible for youth national teams.
Swimming pools, closure for non-compliant facilities
Unanimously approved in the Culture Committee of the Chamber, the regulation on the suction systems of public and private swimming pools open to the public, which came after recent incidents, establishes that the recirculation systems — bottom grids, suction outlets, and similar materials — must prevent “vortex suction phenomena with a vacuum effect” on bathers. From August 1, non-compliant facilities risk immediate closure until they are brought up to standard. For 2026, 4.725 million euros are allocated for public swimming pools.
