  The Italian football federation (IFF) have confirmed football in Italy will resume this weekend.
  
  All of last weekend's matches were postponed after a policeman was killed following an ill-tempered derby clash between Catania and Palermo on Friday.
  
  Football in the country was suspended following the tragedy, but after new stadium guidelines were approved on Wednesday, the league will also now resume.
  
  IFF commissioner Luca Pancalli has praised the government's efforts and believes it was the right thing to resume football in the country this weekend.
  
  "There is great satisfaction in the measures taken," stated Pancalli.
  
  "I'd like thank to the government for their efforts and speed. I think it would have been a mistake not restarting."
