"AC Milan are no strangers to strange decisions, and this season has seen several questionable calls go against them, the latest of which occurred this weekend. It has been a difficult year for the officials. Indeed, throughout this season, the scrutiny on them has been higher than ever. Unfortunately, there has been a reason for this. Performances and standards have dropped, and mistakes have been more frequent and perhaps more costly than in recent years."
"The idea, currently, is to create a refereeing company, owned by the FIGC, which controls officials across the top two divisions, to bring Italy back to the top of Europe's elites when it comes to officials."
AC Milan and other Serie A clubs have faced numerous controversial refereeing decisions this season, prompting increased scrutiny of match officials. Performance standards have declined, with mistakes becoming more frequent and impactful than in previous years. Recent examples include incorrect header decisions against Milan and questionable calls benefiting Inter in title race matches. In response, the FIGC held a 'referee revolution' meeting led by president Gabriele Gravina with officials Gianluca Rocchi and Francesco Massini. The initiative aims to establish a refereeing company owned by the FIGC to oversee officials across Serie A and Serie B, with the goal of restoring Italian football's refereeing standards to European elite levels.
