Referee Simone Sozza has been assigned to officiate the upcoming Serie A clash between Lazio and Napoli.
The 35-year-old Milanese referee will be overseeing his fifth Biancocelesti match this weekend at the Stadio Olimpico, when Maurizio Sarri’s side host the possibly Scudetto challenging Partenopei. Napoli have had an inconsistent start to the season, picking up two wins and two draws, so they’ll be hoping for a dominant showing in Rome on Saturday.
Below is the full officiating team for Lazio vs Napoli (via LazioNews24):
- Referee: Simone Sozza
- Assistant Referees: Domenico Rocca – Antonio Vono
- Fourth Official: Marco Serra
- VAR: Michael Fabbri
- Assistant VAR: Sergio Ranghetti
Sozza has overseen four Lazio matches in the past, starting with a 3-1 win over Empoli in August 2021. This was the only win for the Roman club with Sozza present, as the other results were a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo, a 0-0 draw with Atalanta and a 4-0 Coppa Italia loss to Milan, all last season.
