Football referee associations in Italy and San Marino are conducting various preparatory activities for upcoming seasons. 

The Associazione Italiana Arbitri (AIA) launched the 12th edition of the RefereeRUN, a road running championship for referees, assistants, and observers. This initiative combines athletic training with social solidarity through a partnership with Sport Senza Frontiere to support social inclusion projects.

Simultaneously, regional associations held training sessions to address regulatory changes and technical topics, such as VAR-related discussions. In San Marino, the A.S.A. conducted pre-season assemblies and athletic assessments, while the AIA section of Avezzano held a gathering in Italy focused on new regulations and the use of municipal sports facilities.
