Antonio Rapuano from the AIA section of Rimini has been designated to referee the upcoming Serie A match between Juventus and Genoa this Saturday afternoon. Collectively, these teams have encountered Rapuano 10 times previously in Serie A.
Juventus has played 6 matches with Rapuano as the referee. This season, he officiated their away game against Lecce, which ended in a 1-1 draw on matchday 14. At the Juventus Stadium, Rapuano was in charge for Juventus`s 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in their opening game of the 2022-2023 season and their 3-2 win against Frosinone on matchday 26 of the 2023-2024 season.
