FC Porto find out who will referee their trip to Utrecht | OneFootball

On the morning of this Tuesday, FC Porto learned who will referee the match in Utrecht on Thursday, for the fourth round of the UEFA Europa League: the chosen one was the 43-year-old Scotsman John Beaton.

UEFA also appointed David McGeachie and Graeme Stewart as assistants, with Calum Scott serving as the fourth official. Andrew Dallas, also Scottish, will be the VAR, while the AVAR will be the Englishman Stuart Attwell.

John Beaton has never officiated FC Porto games, but he has faced a Portuguese team in the Europa League – SC Braga – and the memories are not favorable for the Minho team: away defeats against Red Star (2021) and Basaksehir (2017), both by 1-2.

The Scottish referee was also responsible for two matches of the Portugal Under-19 National Team in 2015: victories over Moldova (1-0) and Greece (4-0).
