Serie A is preparing for the ninth matchday, which will open tomorrow, 27 October, with a midweek first round. The schedule includes three advance matches, including the match between Lazio and Sassuolo at 6.30pm, while Roma will face Cagliari at 8.45pm. The refereeing directions have been formalized and the tasks have been assigned to various national and regional referees.
For the match between Lazio and Sassuolo, the referee on duty is Luca Zufferli, originally from Udine. The assistants Di Gioia and Miniutti work alongside him, while the fourth official is Tremolada. VAR is entrusted to Cosso and Aureliano. The match, which sees Lazio at the top of the table together with Inter, will therefore be followed by a high-level refereeing team.
Roma's match against Cagliari, scheduled for 8.45pm, will be directed by Ermanno Feliciani, coming from the Teramo section. In parallel, the match between Turin and Como, also at 8.45pm, will be refereed by Giuseppe Collu from Cagliari. Both referees were chosen for their experience in high-level competitions.
Wednesday, October 28, the day continues with Milan-Bologna at 6.30pm, with referee Sacchi from Macerata, and Parma-Udinese, also at 6.30pm, under the direction of Massa from Imperia. Inter, however, will host Venezia at 6.30pm, with Luca Pairetto di Nichelino in command, accompanied by Meli and Ceccon, while the fourth official is Fourneau. VAR is entrusted to Camplone and Volpi.
The evening of October 28th sees Genoa-Juventus at 8.45pm, with Doveri di Roma as referee, and Monza-Napoli, directed by Ayroldi di Molfetta. Thursday, October 29, the day will end with two postponements: Frosinone-Lecce at 6.30pm, with Abisso di Palermo in command, and Fiorentina-Atalanta at 8.45pm, refereed by La Penna di Roma.
With these assignments, Serie A guarantees balanced and professional refereeing coverage for all matches on the ninth day, ensuring that each match is followed by a team of qualified referees ready to manage the challenges of the championship.
