Rosario Abisso has been reinstated as a referee, as announced in a statement from the National Federal Tribunal: "The National Federal Tribunal, Disciplinary Section, definitively ruling, upholds the appeal and declares the illegitimacy of the resolution referred to in Official Statement No. 1 of the Italian Referees' Association of 1 July 2026 in the part in which it orders the removal of Mr Rosario Abisso".
Abisso had been excluded from the AIA lists on 1 July because of "limits on time spent in the role", but that order allowed him to take part in the pre-season training camp for CAN referees, albeit in excess of the quota.
