On October 13, 2023, the Genoa Court approved the debt restructuring agreements with a tax transaction under Articles 57, 61, and 63 of the Code of Crisis and Insolvency, filed by UC Sampdoria S.p.A. following the negotiated settlement for the resolution of the crisis.
This was the first case of financial recovery for a professional football team on a going concern basis as well as the first application of the new federal sector regulations (known as NOIF - Norme di Ordinamento Interno Federale), adapted following the implementation of the new Code of Crisis and Insolvency. Additionally, it was the first case of debt restructuring secured by Sace and MCI, including the possibility of debt relief.
