Vacancies

On 1 July 2022, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected the league applications of Teramo and Campobasso.[16] Both exclusions were confirmed on appeal on 8 July 2022, with both teams announcing their intention to request one further appeal in front of the Italian National Olympic Committee sports magistrature,[17] which was rejected.

The appeal at TAR of Lazio was rejected on 3 August 2022, leading the football league to confirm the repechages of Fermana and Torres. However, later on 4 August 2022, the Council of State suspended the exclusion of Campobasso, with a final appeal sentence scheduled on 25 August;[18] as a direct consequence, the Lega Pro football league postponed indefinitely the announcement of the fixture list.[19] On 26 August 2022, the Council of State finally confirmed the exclusion of both Campobasso and Teramo.[20]
