ROME, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Juventus will appear in front of the Italian Olympic Committee's arbitration court on Oct. 11 to try to reduce the sanctions imposed against the club following a match-fixing scandal, the committee said on Thursday.
Lazio and AC Milan will also appear before the court on that day, while Fiorentina's case will be discussed on Oct. 12, the CONI committee said on its website.
The four clubs were punished by a soccer tribunal for their involvement in the scandal and have since lodged a series of appeals before sport authorities to have the sanctions reduced.
Juventus were stripped of their last two Serie A titles and were relegated to Serie B with a 17-point deduction.
Milan began the season with an eight-point penalty, Fiorentina began on minus 19 points with Lazio on minus 11.
