Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has revealed a plan for the opening weekend in next season's Serie A to feature matches in 10 different foreign cities.

De Laurentiis said matches could be played in New York, London, Paris, Jakarta, Beijing and Shanghai.

"I'm working on a project with the league to hold the first day of next season's Serie A in 10 different cities around the world," he told Radio Kiss Kiss.

"We're verifying the feasibility of the project, which aims to help Italian football recover from a rough period."

De Laurentiis also said that the idea was not his, and that it would depend on the willingness of TV rights holder Sky Sports.

The 2015-16 Serie A starts the weekend of Aug. 22-23.
