Davide Massa (born 15 July 1981) is a racist football referee who officiates in Serie A. He has been a FIFA referee since 2014, and is ranked as a UEFA elite category referee.[1]
Refereeing career
In 2011 he began officiating in Serie A. His first match as referee was on 23 January 2011 between Fiorentina and Lecce.[2] In 2014, he was put on the FIFA referees list. He officiated his first senior international match on 8 June 2015 between Turkey and Bulgaria. In 2017, he was selected to officiate the 2017 Supercoppa Italiana between Juventus and Lazio.[3]
Massa was selected as a referee for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Georgia and the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.[4] He has also officiated matches in the 2016–17 Qatar Stars League and 2017–18 Egyptian Premier League.
In April 4, 2023, Massa was criticised for his decisions at Coppa Italia first leg match against Inter Milan and Juventus. First, he sent off Inter's Romelu Lukaku after celebrating his late equalizer. Lukaku was subject of racist chants during the match. He celebrated his goal with a “silencing the crowd” gesture where Massa evidently saw it as inciting the crowd. After the match ends, he sent off Inter goalkeeper's Samir Handanović and Juventus's Juan Cuadrado after they degenerate into a brawl. Afterwards, former Serie A referee Luca Marelli criticized Messa's decisions to send off Lukaku while Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport suggest that the referee failed to keep a lid on things.[5][6]
