Serie A to have first woman referee next season
Ferrieri Caputi refereed in the third-tier Serie C last season but the Italian Referees Association (AIA) officially named the 31-year-old in its national commission, meaning that she can now take control of matches in the country's top division. "It's a dream come true, a historic moment, Maria Sole has been promoted because she deserves it," said AIA president Alfredo Trentalange after unveiling the refereeing line up for the 2022/23 season.
