Soccer: Right to play in Jeddah

(ANSA) - Turin, January 15 - Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini said Tuesday it was "right" to come and play the Italian SuperCup against AC Milan in the Saudi Arabian port city of Jeddah despite criticism from Italian politicians including Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
    Chiellini said the match was a "step forward and not a problem".
    "It certainly won't be us who change the world but initiatives like this may be a new start.
    "I'm happy that this match may be one more reason for the evolution of this country, for women.
    "I don't make judgment son politics, we were welcomed nicely and I hope the Saudi people remember this game".
    Restrictions on women attending games have been eased slightly for Wednesday's match, where Juve are aiming for their fifth straight SuperCup and double win.
