Francesco Massini si candida alla presidenza dell'AIA: focus su riforme e autonomia economica
Francesco Massini, vicepresidente vicario dell'Associazione Italiana Arbitri (AIA), ha annunciato la sua candidatura alla presidenza dell'associazione. La sua campagna si basa su obiettivi chiari: autonomia economica, professionalizzazione degli arbitri di alto livello, riforme regolamentari, centralità delle sezioni e una governance moderna, trasparente e partecipativa, più vicina ai soci.
Le elezioni si terranno il 10 ottobre durante l'assemblea generale. Massini, il primo a candidarsi, sottolinea che il loro programma non mira a rivoluzioni, ma a un'evoluzione concreta e coraggiosa. L'obiettivo è consolidare ciò che funziona, migliorare ciò che è migliorabile e avere il coraggio di cambiare ciò che non ha portato i risultati sperati.
"Siamo arbitri e conosciamo il valore del lavoro, della competenza e della capacità di affrontare gli ostacoli senza cercare scorciatoie. Per questo vogliamo costruire un'Associazione più forte, più moderna e più coesa, in cui ogni socio si senta parte di un progetto comune," ha dichiarato Massini.
La priorità sarà l'unità dell'AIA, intesa non come uniformità, ma come capacità di riconoscersi in valori comuni, ascoltarsi e lavorare insieme. Massini ha definito l'unità "l'architrave sulla quale si fonda la nostra autonomia ed è inseparabile dalla nostra indipendenza, principi che intendiamo difendere con determinazione."
Nei prossimi giorni Massini presenterà la sua squadra, composta da donne e uomini che porteranno energia, passione, esperienza, competenza e professionalità all'associazione. Una squadra che mira a unire continuità e rinnovamento, valorizzando il lavoro svolto e guardando con ambizione alle sfide future. "È da qui che intendiamo ripartire," ha concluso Massini.

Francesco Massini Runs for AIA Presidency: Focus on Reforms and Economic Autonomy
Francesco Massini, deputy vice-president of the Italian Referees Association (AIA), has announced his candidacy for the presidency of the association. His campaign is based on clear objectives: economic autonomy, professionalization of top-level referees, regulatory reforms, centrality of sections, and modern, transparent, and participatory governance that is closer to its members.
The elections will be held on October 10 during the general assembly. Massini, the first to declare his candidacy, emphasizes that their program does not aim for revolutions but for a concrete and courageous evolution. The goal is to consolidate what works, improve what can be improved, and have the courage to change what has not yielded the expected results.
"We are referees, and we know the value of work, competence, and the ability to face obstacles without seeking shortcuts. That's why we want to build a stronger, more modern, and more cohesive Association, where every member feels part of a common project," Massini stated.
The priority will be the unity of the AIA, understood not as uniformity, but as the ability to recognize common values, listen to each other, and work together. Massini described unity as "the cornerstone upon which our autonomy is founded and it is inseparable from our independence, principles that we intend to defend with determination."
In the coming days, Massini will present his team, composed of women and men who will bring energy, passion, experience, competence, and professionalism to the association. A team that aims to unite continuity and renewal, valuing the work done and looking with ambition to future challenges. "This is where we intend to restart," Massini concluded.
