Soccer: Italian season delayed

Italy's soccer season will begin two weeks late because of the fallout from the Serie A match-fixing scandal.

The top leagues will start the weekend of September 9-10 instead of August 28.

The Soccer League, which oversees Serie A and Serie B, postponed the start date to "allow sports justice to reach its conclusion", a spokesman said.

Serie A games will kick off on September 10, while Serie B begins on September 9.
