Finally, it was a fruitful and constructive meeting, to which the AIA intends to give continuity also with periodic meetings during the season. In this regard, the President of the AIA, Gianluca Rocchi, wanted to underline the importance of the meeting: "It was an important meeting for our association, for the referees and for women's football in general. The managers of the A Women teams were very helpful and collaborative, and it is important that this relationship of trust and collaboration is created also for the future. We said to ourselves, with the managers, that it is right to have periodic meetings to always have a discussion on everything, also to make the managers understand and to the teams the work that the referees and the AIA do in general. This meeting, as I have already said, must be the first of a series of meetings that we hope can be held more frequently".

Periodic meetings, therefore, for a constructive discussion between AIA and Serie A Women clubs, which aim to make women's football increasingly competitive and professional.
