Referee Luca Massimi has been assigned to oversee the first Lazio game of the Serie A season against Bologna.

The Biancocelesti’s 2022-23 season kicks off on Sunday evening this week at the Stadio Olimpico with a tough opener against Sinisa Mihajlovic’s side. Last season, Lazio lost their away match against Bologna 3-0 but won the return match in Rome 3-0, so they’ll be hoping to improve on that result in the upcoming game.
