A friendly match in Saudia Arabia between Champions League finalists AC Milan and Juventus was postponed Thursday due to security concerns.
The match, scheduled for Dec. 23, was postponed one day after a suicide bombing in Iraq killed 18 Italians.
"After the tragic acts in Iraq, security reasons have forced the two clubs to delay the match to a yet to be determined date," Milan said in a statement.
Early Wednesday, a suicide bombing at the Italian compound in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah killed 18 Italians, including 12 paramilitary police and four soldiers.
