Fans in search of a midweek football fix will have spotted that a Serie A match between Pisa and Como is taking place at 14:00 GMT (15:00 local time) on Tuesday.
The fixture, which sees Cesc Fabregas' side travel to bottom of the table Pisa, is the first part of a full midweek fixture list in Italy's top-flight.
It is taking place on Tuesday due to Epiphany, a Christian feast day, which is a bank holiday in Italy.
As part of the celebrations, the league has scheduled matches across the day to mirror a typical Sunday schedule in the league.
