"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The women's Coppa&amp;nbsp;Italia final has been called off after an Italian soccer official was accused of calling female players a \"bunch of lesbians,\" according to the BBC. &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The official, Felice&amp;nbsp;Belloli\u2014who serves as president of the country's amateur soccer association\u2014has denied making the comment.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The comment, which was first reported last week, was recorded in the minutes of a meeting. The remark has sparked protests at women's soccer matches around the country since it was publicized.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Brescia and Tavagnacco&amp;nbsp;were slated to meet in the Coppa Italia final on Sunday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Belloli&amp;nbsp;denied making the comment to La Gazzetta dello Sport, and said that his main concern was how the minutes managed to be leaked.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;YOUNG: Continued South American soccer violence falls on authorities, clubs&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I never signed those minutes,\" Belloli told La Gazzetta dello Sport, according to ESPN. \"Can you see my signature on them? No, and I can tell you why \u2013 because minutes can be taken and amended by anybody. I know how the minutes are taken at the LND.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"All I am saying is that I did not utter that phrase. There is going to be a lot to clarify, such as how minutes taken at an LND meeting can have been distributed to the press. This is my main concern because I want to find out how that document, which is private and confidential to the LND, came out.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Italian Football Federation is investigating the incident.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Stanley Kay&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
