Venezia Relegated as Jay Idzes Misses Decisive Match

Venezia have officially been relegated to Serie B after a 2-3 loss to Juventus in their final match of the 2024/25 Serie A season on Sunday (May 25). They finished 19th with 29 points.

Jay Idzes, centre-back and captain of the Indonesia national football team, was suspended due to card accumulation and missed the crucial match. His absence, along with injuries to Michael Svoboda and Cheick Conde, left Venezia’s defense vulnerable.

According to Transfermarkt, Venezia failed to win a single away match this season and recorded only 5 home victories — contributing to their relegation after just one season back in the top flight.

Fans flooded Venezia’s official Instagram account with support, urging the team to bounce back next season. Jay Idzes is expected to play a key role in helping the club aim for a return to Serie A.
