Napoli’s Serie A game against Parma on Saturday has been pushed back half an hour after a storm damaged the roof of the San Paolo Stadium.

The Italian league game had been due to kick-off at 6:00 pm (1700GMT) but will now begin at 6:30 pm, Napoli confirmed.

Storm damage had dislodged some roof coverings, leaving a hole over one of the stands, but the match was given the go ahead after structural checks by city officials.

The gates will be open to the public from 3:30 pm.
