Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi will become the first woman to referee a Serie A match when she takes charge of Sassuolo’s match against Salernitana on Sunday.
The 31-year-old Ferrieri Caputi was promoted to the Italian league's refereeing pool for this season. She became the first female to referee a match involving a Serie A team last year, in Cagliari’s Italian Cup match against Cittadella. She disallowed three goals during that game.
