Attention! Lions learn who will referee Tondela v Sporting 🦁 | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council (CA) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) revealed last Wednesday the referees appointed for the ninth round of Liga Portugal Betclic. José Bessa will referee Sporting’s away match against Tondela.

The referee from the Porto Football Association will be assisted by Hugo Santos and Miguel Martins, while Diogo Araújo will be the fourth official for the match. Tiago Martins has been assigned as VAR for the game, with Rui Cidade providing support as AVAR.

This season, José Bessa has already officiated the Alverca - Benfica match, from the fourth round of the National Championship. Interestingly, that match was marked by some controversial incidents, which led to accusations that he favored Benfica.

Currently, Sporting is in second place, with 19 points from eight matches played. Porto leads with 22, while Benfica rounds out the podium with 18. Meanwhile, Tondela sits in 17th place, with only five points earned.

The green and white team returns to the field next Sunday, October 26, against Tondela. The match, counting for the ninth round of the Liga Portugal Betclic, against the team led by Ivo Vieira, will be played at Estádio João Cardoso at 6:00 pm.
