The Serie A 2006/2007 season (officially "Serie A TIM 2006/2007") began September 10, 2006. It was scheduled to begin on August 26 and 27, but was then postponed due to the Serie A scandal of 2006. It is the 104th Serie A league ever held, and the first without the presence of Juventus F.C..

[edit] The scandal
Following the Serie A scandal of 2006, Juventus F.C., ACF Fiorentina and S.S. Lazio were relegated to Serie B, whereas A.C. Milan were deducted 15 points but were not relegated, and consequently U.S. Lecce, F.C. Messina Peloro and Treviso F.B.C. 1993, originally slated for relegation to Serie B, were to have been retained in Serie A, thereby keeping the top table at 20 teams.
Fiorentina, Juventus, Lazio and Milan all lodged appeals. As a result, Fiorentina and Lazio have been reinstated to the Serie A, but with 15 points and 11 points deductions for each team respectively. Milan's reduction was modied to 8 points. Juventus remained relegated to Serie B with a points deduction of 17. Lecce and Treviso return to Serie B, while Messina provisionally remains in Serie A to replace Juventus, pending further appeals.
As part of another inquiry, Reggina Calcio was handed a 15-point penalty, but was allowed to remain in Serie A. [1] The inquiry is continuing to investigate Messina, Lecce, and A.C. Siena.
[edit] League halting of February 2007
On February 2, 2007, police officer Filippo Raciti was killed in Catania in football-related violence during the Sicilian derby between rivals Catania and Palermo [1]. The match, originally scheduled for February 4 at 3pm, was exceptionally advanced on Friday at 6pm under request of Catania Calcio because of the simultaneity with the St. Agatha local celebrations.
The dramatic Sicilian derby events, which followed the passing of Ermanno Licursi, an amateur club manager, beaten to death during a riot in a Terza Categoria league match, led Commissioner Luca Pancalli to call a stop to all football matches in Italy, including Serie A fixtures. Pancalli noted how the league fixtures would not start again till a solution to the violence issue in Italian football is found. The week after, a special law by the government enforced the measures to be taken against violence is football stadia and forbade the presence of supporters inside stadia which didn't agree with mandatory security dispositions, thus enabling italian football to go on with half of the matches played without audience.
