Overview
- Lazio sent a certified letter to Lega Serie A and federal councillors seeking immediate institutional action over what it calls recurring refereeing errors and inconsistent VAR use.
- The club requests an urgent meeting with FIGC and AIA, written reviews of key incidents, binding operational guidelines for VAR, greater transparency, and quality-control measures.
- Citing its status as a listed company, Lazio says the decisions have caused sporting prejudice and economic harm and it reserves the right to pursue all institutional and legal remedies.
- The disputed equalizer by Udinese’s Davis stood despite a hand touch, with officials assessing that the handball was not “immediate” in the build-up; refereeing chief Gianluca Rocchi backed referee Andrea Colombo.
- Simonelli defended the refereeing body, said the league will reply to Lazio’s PEC, pointed to an upcoming Open Var explanation of the decision, and noted that claims of an orchestrated design belong in competent venues.
