The new department will be in operation from the 2025 season and overseen by Italian Matteo Perini, and it "will support the recruitment of officiating talent, empower officials at a regional level, improve efficiency, and be a cohesive operational process," according to a statement.

If it helps with the inconsistent stewarding then good step!
