Official Referees for Serie A Week 29: Massa Gets Como-Roma, Doveri to Serie B Duty

Davide Massa has been appointed to officiate the pivotal Serie A encounter between Como and Roma, a direct battle for a top-four position. Meanwhile, Gianluca Manganiello will oversee the match between Inter and Atalanta. Notably, Daniele Doveri has been assigned to a Serie B fixture following his recent work in the Derby della Madonnina.

The Italian Referees Association (AIA) has officially confirmed the referee selections for all Serie A matches scheduled for this upcoming weekend.

Arguably the most significant fixture of the round is the contest for Champions League qualification, as Como and Roma, currently level on points in the standings, will go head-to-head at the Stadio Sinigaglia on Sunday. This high-stakes game has been entrusted to the experienced official, Massa.

League leaders Inter will be looking to regain their winning form against Atalanta, a match that will be officiated by Gianluca Manganiello, representing another key clash among the league's top seven teams.

It's important to note that while Daniele Doveri will not be officiating a Serie A game this weekend, this is not considered a demotion. Instead, he has been given the demanding and crucial responsibility of managing the Serie B promotion playoff match between Monza and Palermo. This game holds significant importance as it could prove decisive in determining which team earns a spot in Italy's top flight next season.
