Serie A League Referees – Appointments, News and Videos

Serie A matches are officiated by referees and assistant referees.

They meet for a training meeting fortnightly, where they perform physical and technical training sessions, and analyze match videos.

There is a robust system for measuring Select Group performance over the season. Each Serie A match is evaluated by a former senior referee who scrutinizes every decision using the match footage and event data to measure the officials’ technical performance. Former players and managers (Match Delegates) assess the accuracy and consistency of decision-making and their management of the match.

There is a support team that mirrors that of a football club: sports scientists, sports psychologists, performance analysts, operational assistants, physiotherapists, sprint coaches, podiatrists, and vision scientists are all employed to improve referee performance.

Technology is used as an aid too: detailed performance analysis is supported by Opta, which provides statistical data on each match.

One of the most famous referees in the Serie A is Pierluigi Collina. Collina, who retired in 2005, is widely regarded as one of the best referees of all time, and is known for his distinctive bald head and intense stare. During his career, Collina officiated numerous high-profile matches, including the 2002 World Cup Final and the UEFA Champions League Final.

Another well-known referee in the Serie A is Antonio Damato. Damato, who has been officiating in the league since 2005, is known for his strict interpretation of the rules and his attention to detail. Damato has officiated a number of high-profile matches, including the Coppa Italia Final and the Supercoppa Italiana.

Other notable referees in the Serie A include Daniele Orsato, Marco Di Bello, and Davide Massa. Orsato, who has been officiating in the league since 2004, has gained a reputation for his calm and composed demeanor on the pitch.

Di Bello, who has been a referee in the Serie A since 2010, is known for his fitness and his ability to keep up with the pace of play. Massa, who has been a referee in the league since 2006, is known for his consistency and his ability to make tough decisions.
