RCL FAMILY: Stefano Bolzonella

16th July 2026

Discover the testimony of Stefano, experienced referee and member of the club, on his journey:

I am currently responsible for referee education and development for the FLR (RDO).

This year, as the Luxembourg referees group, we were fortunate to participate in several Rugby Europe matches and appointments. Notably, one of my collegue was appointed as referee for the 7s Conference 1 in Andorra. I received two appointments as Match Official Performance Reviewer—one for Conference 2 in Kosovo and another for the Trophy in Moldova—as well as an appointment as referee for the 7s Championship in Prague. These achievements reflect the progress we are making through our collective efforts as board and referees group.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to RCL for their ongoing support. Their commitment to recruitment—currently, 60% of our referees are affiliated with RCL—and their readiness to host all our education and development activities have been invaluable. While we still face many challenges ahead, I am confident that the club will continue to support us in every possible way.

It is always a great pleasure for me to represent the federation and club and show my club membership on my travels!!
