Pre-season and friendlies

During pre-season Palermo played four friendlies: against Potenza and Monopoli, Serie C Group C clubs,[31] against Salernitana, Serie A club,[32] and against Enna, Eccellenza club.[33] One week before the first official match, Palermo's players composed two teams, Rosa (Pink) and Nero (Black), which faced each other at Stadio Renzo Barbera. It was the first match played in Palermo with attendance since 1 March 2020. Match was played in two halves of 40 minutes each.[34] On January Palermo played a friendly against the sicilian Eccellenza club Oratorio S. Ciro e Giorgio from Marineo, profiting by the long Christmas break due to the postponement of matchdays 21 and 22.[35] On April Palermo played the last friendly of the season against Palermo U-19, in order to celebrate the 2nd place reached by Youth sector in the promotion play-offs for Campionato Primavera 2. This match replaces the canceled Serie C game against Catania due to the exclusion of the other sicilian club from league.[36]
