TURIN, Italy, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Juventus will play next month's UEFA Cup third round second leg match against Olympiakos of Greece in Palermo in Sicily not at their Delle Alpi stadium in Turin.
The decision comes after a crowd of just over 2,500 turned out in Turin for the club's second round tie with Bulgaria's Levski Sofia.
Juventus played in Palermo for their first round second leg match against Omonia Nicosia of Cyprus and drew an impressive crowd of around 30,000, despite having effectively settled the
tie in the first leg.
Juventus, who have strong support across Italy, are involved in a dispute with the Turin council and have threatened to leave the city unless their plans to destroy the Delle Alpi
and build a new venue on the site are approved.
