Football witnessed a groundbreaking moment as Serie A, Italy's top-flight football league, saw an all-female referee team officiating a match for the first time in its history. The match, featuring Inter Milan against Torino at the iconic San Siro stadium, marked a significant milestone in the league's journey towards inclusivity and diversity.

Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi, the main referee for the match, led the historic all-female team, accompanied by assistants Tiziana Trasciatti and Francesca Di Monte. Their presence on the field symbolized not only their individual capabilities but also the collective progress towards gender equality in football officiating.

Prior to this momentous occasion, the trio had collaborated in various capacities, including officiating second division matches and a Coppa Italia game, demonstrating their expertise and teamwork. However, their appointment to officiate a Serie A fixture underscored the league's commitment to providing equal opportunities for officials regardless of gender.

Despite the significance of the occasion, the match was not without its challenges. Ferrieri Caputi faced pivotal decisions, including the dismissal of Torino's Adrien Tameze for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. This crucial call, made after consulting the pitch-side monitor, highlighted Ferrieri Caputi's confidence and competence in handling high-pressure situations.

Furthermore, a penalty was awarded later in the match when Matteo Lovato fouled Marcus Thuram, leading to Hakan Calhanoglu converting the spot-kick for Inter Milan's second goal. These decisions showcased the professionalism and impartiality of the all-female officiating team.

At 33 years old, Ferrieri Caputi has been steadily making strides in her refereeing career. The match against Torino marked her 10th appearance as a referee in Serie A since her debut in 2022, further solidifying her position as a respected official in Italian football.
