Vacancies
On 1 July 2022, the Co.Vi.So.C. rejected the league applications of Teramo and Campobasso .[ 16] Both exclusions were confirmed on appeal on 8 July 2022, with both teams announcing their intention to request one further appeal in front of the Italian National Olympic Committee sports magistrature,[ 17] which was rejected.
The appeal at TAR of Lazio was rejected on 3 August 2022, leading the football league to confirm the repechages of Fermana and Torres . However, later on 4 August 2022, the Council of State suspended the exclusion of Campobasso, with a final appeal sentence scheduled on 25 August;[ 18] as a direct consequence, the Lega Pro football league postponed indefinitely the announcement of the fixture list.[ 19] On 26 August 2022, the Council of State finally confirmed the exclusion of both Campobasso and Teramo.[ 20]
