The Portuguese Football Federation’s Refereeing Council has appointed Filipa Cunha to officiate the Super Cup match between Benfica and FC Porto, scheduled for Sunday at 5:15 pm at the Estádio Municipal do Fontelo, in Viseu.

The 34-year-old international referee, affiliated with the Viana do Castelo Football Association, will have Cristiana Costa and Vera Correia as assistants. Lorena Esteves will be the fourth official.

Tiago Figueiredo, from the Santarém Football Association, and Inês Carvalho, also from the Viana do Castelo Football Association, complete the refereeing team that will be on the pitch.

Cláudia Ribeiro will serve as video assistant referee, with André Campos and João Malheiro Pinto as VAR assistants.

Benfica and FC Porto will face each other for the second time, after the Eagles beat the Porto side 2-0 in last season’s Portuguese Cup final at the Jamor Stadium. That victory secured the double for Ivan Baptista’s team, while the Porto side, coached by Daniel Chaves, ended the season with promotion to the Liga BPI following their II Division title.
