ROME (ITALPRESS) – Antonio Zappi is the new president of the Italian Referees Association. His proclamation came at the end of the general assembly held today in Rome. At the opening of the assembly, just before a greeting from Figc’s number 1 Gabriele Gravina, a video was shown that retraced the highlights of the presidency led by Carlo Pacifici, which, in fact, ended today with the investiture of his successor. A former whistle blower and then a professional in the field of tax training and tax consulting, Zappi was elected with 72.3 percent of the vote by the assembly gathered at the Radisson Blu GHR Hotel in Rome, beating Alfredo Trentalange, former president of AIA for the 2021-2022 biennium. “Violence against referees must have a tough and repressive response. Minister Abodi has pledged his commitment and he will be one of my first interlocutors – the first words of the new Aia president Zappi – I am particularly in favor of call Var, I believe that substantial justice must prevail. I would like a captain or a coach to be able to raise his arm to ask for an on field review, I would like rugby to teach soccer this ability to open up to total transparency.”- Photo Press Office Zappi -(ITALPRESS).
