Ferreri .. the first woman to lead a Serie A match
Maria Sulli Ferreri Capote will be the first woman to officiate a Serie A match in Italy, the Italian Referees Association confirmed today.
According to press reports, Vieri Capote, who was promoted to the elite Italian referees last July, will lead the match between Sassuolo and its guest, Salernitana, on Sunday.
"It is not an ordinary day, I am very touched," said Alfredo Trentalang, president of the Referees' Association.
And he added during a press conference, "Maria Sule will play her first match in Serie A on the basis of her merit. We do not give privileges to anyone, Maria Sule has deserved this, which is considered a success for the refereeing body as a whole."
Ferreri Capote, 31, had previously supervised matches in the third division last season, but she led a match in which one of the parties was also in the first division, Cagliari, during his confrontation with Cittadella in the Italian Cup last December.
She also supervised the Chittadella match against SPAL in the second division, two months earlier.
The vision of women leading matches has become common in recent times in the men's matches, and three of them were chosen to lead matches in the World Cup finals in Qatar, scheduled for November 20 to December 18 next, including French Stephanie Frapper, who refereed a match in the Champions League for men, the French League and World Cup qualifiers. .
