I was selected in June 2024 for the refereeing Erasmus program, organised by AIA and Referee Abroad, in Andalusia ( Spain), along with other Italian and foreign referees, to officiate matches in the IberCup tournament, one of the most important international tournament in the world. During the event, I had the opportunity to serve as the fourth official in one of the finals. This experience allowed me to grow both physically and personally, improve my language skills, and gain insight into a different yet unique refereeing style abroad.
