A bill introduced in the Italian Senate proposes a 2% levy on all domestic football bets to create a dedicated funding stream for Italian football, with proceeds earmarked for youth development, women's football and problem gambling prevention.
Bill 1902, presented by Senator Paolo Marcheschi as part of a broader legislative proposal, aims to tackle the challenges faced by Italian football. The proposed levy is intended to provide financial support specifically for youth development, women's football, and initiatives related to problem gambling prevention.
If passed, the bill would establish a steady revenue source to bolster various aspects of Italian football, highlighting a commitment to nurturing talent, promoting gender equality in sports, and addressing issues related to responsible gambling within the football community.
