Food Poisoning Throws Salernitana’s Relegation Fight Into Turmoil

  • Salernitana, a Serie B football club, suffered a 2-0 defeat to Sampdoria in the first leg of their relegation play-off in mid-June 2025.
  • Following the match, a food poisoning outbreak affected 21 players and staff, hospitalizing many and prompting Salernitana to request a postponement of the scheduled Friday second leg.
  • Salernitana's CEO Maurizio Milan expressed shock over the incident, emphasizing the risk of it disrupting the club’s preparations for the season's critical final games.
  • Four ambulances treated the team upon arrival at Salerno-Costa d'Amalfi Airport, and police began an investigation into the cause of the widespread food poisoning linked to the team's hotel and in-flight meal.
  • Serie B officials have shown a willingness to consider Salernitana's postponement request, but the club faces the risk of back-to-back demotions unless they manage to overcome their current deficit amid ongoing health difficulties.
