"The doors of the Italian Referees Association are always open to give solidarity and help to those living in difficult times" - said Alfredo Trentalange - we are proud this time to give hospitality to Kateryna Monzul who comes from a territory whose population is experiencing a terrible war. We are talking about one of the most famous female referee in the world: a true model. We are happy to have her in our championship, with the hope that, in the shortest possible time, she will be able to return with her loved ones to her country ".
“I am touched by the level of solidarity - says the president of the Ukrainian Football Association Andriy Pavelko - that our Italian friends from the FIGC are showing us in such difficult times. For Ukraine it is extremely important that football can progress in some way even under dramatic circumstances. Kateryna is an exceptional referee who fully deserves this opportunity. I am sure she will perform well in Italian football. Thanks to UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin and FIGC President Gabriele Gravina for their invaluable support ”.
