A first in Serie A soccer for the referee's "announcement," which is direct communication to the crowd of decisions taken following a VAR review. During the Como-Lazio match, referee Manganiello explained via microphone why Castellanos' goal, which had temporarily tied the game in the 20th minute of the second half., was disallowed. "After a review, Lazio's No. 11 started from the offside position. Final decision: offside”, the referee declared at the stadium after the VAR room requested that they open their microphones. This is the most significant rule change for the 2025–2026 Serie A season, and it marks a real watershed moment in Italian soccer's communication.
