Serie A champions Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio were this evening named as the four teams who will face a sports court over allegations of corruption in Italian football.
The hearings will begin next Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italian federation (FIGC) prosecutor Stefano Palazzi confirmed.
The scandal broke when Italian newspapers published transcripts of telephone conversations between senior FIGC officials and Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi discussing refereeing appointments.
Moggi resigned following the revelations.
In an eight-line press release, it was confirmed that defendants from the four clubs would receive the 108-page dossier into the investigations on Friday morning.
A total of 30 people are under investigation, but due to Italian privacy laws, none of the names could be released.
The FIGC intend to conclude the trial by July 9, when the World Cup final will be played in Berlin.
It has been anticipated that severe sanctions, including possible relegation from Serie A, will be imposed on clubs found guilty of attempting to fix matches.
Juventus finished top of the table ahead of second-placed AC Milan in Serie A last season, but were only awarded the title on a 'provisional' basis, according to former FIGC president Franco Carraro.
Carraro resigned in May, along with Moggi and the entire Juventus board.
