Sozza referee for Inter vs. Milan Supercoppa Italiana Final | OneFootball

Simone Sozza has been assigned to officiate the Supercoppa Italiana Final between Inter and Milan on Monday, with Valerio Marini as the VAR.

It kicks off at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on Monday January 6 at 19.00 GMT.

Inter qualified for the Final by beating Atalanta 2-0 in the semi-final, while Milan fought back from a goal down to defeat Juventus 2-1.

As per the Final Four format, there will be no extra time, so if the teams are level after 90 minutes then it goes directly to a penalty shoot-out.

Inter are challenging to become the first team ever to win the Supercoppa Italiana for four years in a row.

The appointment of Sozza will have Milan fans concerned, seeing as his only previous edition of the Derby della Madonnina was a 5-1 Inter victory in September 2023.

The Nerazzurri have also won all five games played with Sozza as the referee, while Milan won three and lost one.
