Riconferma is a common noun in Italian sports and political journalism, denoting the renewal or confirmation of a person in their role: la riconferma dell'allenatore ('the coach's reappointment'). It is formed from the prefix ri- (again) + conferma (confirmation). Its plural is regular: le riconferme.
