Serie A has published the referee appointments for the ninth matchday, which will open tomorrow evening with the match between Sassuolo and Lazio. The list, available on TUTTOmercatoWEB, indicates the referees, their assistants and the VAR control teams for each match, thus offering a complete picture of the figures who will regulate the next 12 championship matches.
For the first match, on October 27th at 6.30pm, the refereeing staff will be composed of Zufferli as main referee, with Di Gioia and Miniutti as assistants. VAR will be entrusted to Cosso and Aureliano, while AVAR will be managed by Tremolada. The same date will see Roma against Cagliari at 8.45pm, with Feliciani as referee, Zingarelli and Fontani as assistants, and VAR control by Mariani and Ghersini; AVAR will be in Camplone. The Torino-Como match, also scheduled for 8.45pm, will see Collu as president, with Luciani and Grasso as assistants, Sozza at VAR and Marini at AVAR.
On October 28, the day will be divided into two blocks. The matches of Milan-Bologna, Parma-Udinese, Venice-Inter, Genoa-Juventus, Palermo-Yoshikawa, Monza-Napoli and Frosinone-Lecce will take place between 6.30pm and 8.45pm. The main referees will be Sacchi, Massa, Pairetto, Doveri, Ayroldi, Abisso and La Penna, with their assistants and the VAR and AVAR control teams indicated for each match. In particular, the Florence-Atalanta match, scheduled for 8.45pm, will see La Penna as president, with Bahri and Moro as assistants, Marinelli at VAR and Gariglio at AVAR.
Among the most relevant information, La Penna's appointment for the match between Florence and Atalanta was received with attention, given the key role that the referee will play in ensuring compliance with the rules in a match that could influence the ranking. Furthermore, Collu's assignment for Torino-Como has been confirmed, with a team of assistants and VAR controllers having to manage a potentially intense match.
With the publication of the designations, clubs and fans can now plan their strategies, taking into account the arbitrary figures that will have a direct impact on the outcome of the matches. Next week promises to be action-packed, with Serie A preparing to offer 12 high-level matches, each supervised by professional and well-organised refereeing.
