This weekend marks a historic moment in Serie A as an all-woman refereeing team will officiate a match for the first time, announced by the Italian Referees' Association (AIA) on Thursday.
The league champions, Inter Milan, will host Torino on Sunday, with Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi leading the refereeing team, accompanied by Francesca Di Monte and Tiziana Trasciatti as assistants.
This significant achievement signals progress in addressing issues of representation and inclusivity within the traditionally male-dominated realm of Italian football.
Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi, aged 33, continues to pave the way for women in Serie A, having previously made history as the league's first female referee in 2022.
With six games already officiated in the Italian top flight this season, Ferrieri Caputi's leadership underscores the advancement of diversity and gender equality in football.
As Inter Milan commemorates their 20th league title at the San Siro on Sunday, this milestone match further highlights the ongoing efforts to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment within the sport.
