Daniele Orsato - Football referee
Daniele Orsato is a highly respected professional football referee from Italy. He was born on November 23, 1975, in Montecchio Maggiore, Veneto, Italy. Known for his calm demeanor and consistent decision-making, Orsato has been a key official in several high-profile matches in Italy and abroad.
Orsato began his refereeing career in the lower leagues of Italian football before making his debut in the Serie A, the top-flight of Italian football, in 2006. His competent performances quickly caught the attention of the football authorities, leading to his addition to the FIFA International Referees List in 2010. This allowed him to officiate in international matches and competitions.
At the international level, Orsato has refereed in some of the most prestigious competitions, including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA European Championship. Notably, he was chosen to officiate the final of the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League, a match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.
On the domestic front, Orsato has regularly officiated key Serie A matches and Italian Cup (Coppa Italia) finals, further cementing his reputation as one of Italy's top referees.
Orsato is well-regarded for his ability to manage matches effectively. He is praised for his communication skills, his interpretation of the rules, and his decision-making ability under pressure. These qualities have made him a respected figure in the world of football refereeing.
As of my last update in September 2021, Orsato continues to be an active referee in Italian and international football.
