The weekend that has just begun is the last without regional football matches (the first Sardinian teams involved in the Coppa Italia Serie D are playing at a national level). But from the next one the ball will start rolling again also from the Eccellenza down, with the first leg of the first round of the Coppa Italia. Compared to the program announced two weeks ago, three pairings have been inverted between home and away. For the Coppa Italia Eccellenza Villasimius-Barisardo will be played on Sunday 1 September at Is Casas, with the return on Sunday 8 at Lixius in Lanusei; Taloro-Nuorese will have the same dates with the first leg in Gavoi and the return at Frogheri. The first leg of Calangianus-Tempio, however, changes time and will start at 18 (the other matches, barring further changes, will kick off at 17). In the Promotion cup it will be Tonara-Ovodda on 1 September and Ovodda-Tonara on 8.
The program. For the Coppa Italia Eccellenza the updated first round therefore sees Carbonia-Iglesias, Ferrini-Monastir, Villasimius-Barisardo, Taloro Gavoi-Nuorese, Ghilarza-Ossese, Li Punti-Alghero, Calangianus-Tempio and San Teodoro-Budoni. The first team indicated plays the first leg at home on Sunday 1, the return leg with the fields reversed on the 8th while the championship begins on the 15th. In the Coppa Italia Promozione single matches (same dates as the first round of Eccellenza) Arzachena-Luogosanto, Coghinas-Castelsardo, Sennori-Lanteri Sassari, Stintino-Usinese, Buddusò-Atletico Bono, Siniscola-Tuttavista, Bosa-Bonorva, Macomerese-Abbasanta, Tonara-Ovodda, Idolo-Tortolì and Lanusei-Baunese. Then the triangular matches: Castiadas-Sant'Elena (Selargius rests), Pirri-Atletico Cagliari (CUS Cagliari rests), Uta-Villamassargia (Atletico Masainas rests), Guspini-Villacidrese (Orrolese rests) and Terralba-Arborea (Tharros rests). The first matchday is played on Sunday 1 September, on Wednesday 4 the team that rested in the first match and the loser of the first match will play (or, in the event of a draw, the home team), on Sunday 8 the remaining match (all at 5 pm). The first team of each group advances, in the event of a tie on points the goal difference, goals scored and possibly a draw are counted (the latter is also done in the event of a complete three-way tie).
