Pre-season and friendlies
During pre-season Palermo played four friendlies : against Potenza and Monopoli , Serie C Group C clubs,[ 37] against Salernitana , Serie A club,[ 38] and against Enna, Eccellenza club.[ 39] One week before the first official match, Palermo's players composed two teams, Rosa (Pink ) and Nero (Black ), which faced each other at Stadio Renzo Barbera . It was the first match played in Palermo with attendance since 1 March 2020. Match was played in two halves of 40 minutes each.[ 40] On January Palermo played a friendly against the sicilian Eccellenza club Oratorio S. Ciro e Giorgio from Marineo , profiting by the long Christmas break due to the postponement of matchdays 21 and 22.[ 41] On April Palermo played the last friendly of the season against Palermo U-19, in order to celebrate the 2nd place reached by Youth sector in the promotion play-offs for Campionato Primavera 2 . This match replaces the canceled Serie C game against Catania due to the exclusion of the other sicilian club from league.[ 42]

^ In order to preserve chronological evolvements, matches are not sorted by their original schedule, but by the date on which they were actually played. In addition, league positions include the participation of Catania until their exclusion on matchday 36, so they may not correspond to Worldfootball.net data ("Serie C Girone C 2021/2022" . worldfootball.net. ), because this source lists game weeks as if matches were never postponed or canceled.
