Inter has won the tenth Coppa Italia in its history: so now what about the silver star on the jersey? The dream of a new symbol on the shirt clashes with the regulations. Unlike the gold stars for league titles—which are automatic every ten titles—for the national trophy there is no federal rule that establishes the right to the silver star.
No prohibition, but also no official rule. The procedure is simple and complex at the same time: the Nerazzurri club would have to submit a formal request to the FIGC, waiting for approval from the competent authorities. Lega Serie A has no direct powers in this matter, but there is talk of discretion that leaves room for institutional dialogue, but also for possible long waiting times.
In the meantime, Inter celebrates its tenth victory and, as Marotta said, the star doesn’t matter that much: only Juventus—with 14 wins—has done better. The silver badge could arrive, but only after approval from Coverciano. Of course, for the fans it would be an additional source of satisfaction, perhaps also for merchandising. For now, the Nerazzurri enjoy the double and a cup that, star or no star, remains a piece of glory. Then there will also be time to decide and to fight bureaucracy.
