Modena cancels Fiorentina clash: Braglia stadium closed for repairs

The friendly match between Modena and Fiorentina, scheduled for August 8 at the Braglia Stadium, has been canceled due to ongoing energy improvement works. The works, which began a few days ago after a meeting between the Canaries club and the municipal administration, will take longer than expected, making it impossible to use the stadium for sporting or non-sporting events during construction.

What happened?

The postponement is due to the renovation of the stadium's lighting system, which will not be completed by the scheduled date. The club has stated that the work will proceed at a rapid pace to finish before the start of the season on August 22. Modena, currently 6th in Serie B with 55 points (15 wins, 10 draws, 13 losses), aims to resume preparations for the new season.

Why it matters for Modena

The cancellation of the match against Fiorentina and the postponement of the friendly with Cittadella (originally scheduled for August 9) could affect the team's preparation. However, the club has assured that the work will be completed in time for the first matchday, with Modena possibly making their home debut, as they have done in the last two seasons.

What comes next?

In addition to the cancellation of friendly matches, Modena has announced that open-door training sessions for fans will not be possible during the construction period. The team will continue training in the city until July 18, when they will move to Mezzana, Val di Sole, for their mountain retreat, which will last until August 1.
