Nicolás Ramírez set to referee the Superclásico | OneFootball

Boca vs. River is almost completely set. The date, time, and venue are already known, and the only thing left to find out is who will be in charge of officiating. During the week, the Argentine Football Association will officially announce the referee for the match on Sunday, November 9, although it is already known internally who the chosen one will be.

Nicolás Ramírez will officiate his third consecutive Superclásico. The 38-year-old referee, one of the most reliable in the Professional League, is set to lead the officiating team at the Alberto J. Armando stadium. However, to be formally confirmed, he must first pass a crucial test.

This Wednesday, Ramírez will be present at the final of the Copa Argentina between Argentinos Juniors and Independiente Rivadavia in Córdoba. If he manages to do a good job, he will be confirmed for the Boca vs. River match that weekend.

The only thing that could change the situation would be a poor performance by the referee at the Estadio Monumental Presidente Perón. If he makes a serious mistake that makes him the protagonist of the final, the AFA could consider other options such as Facundo Tello or Yael Falcón Pérez.

How Ramírez has fared officiating Boca and River

He has officiated Boca 12 times and his record is slightly positive: 6 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. In total, he has booked 39 players from the Ribera team and sent off 2. Additionally, he awarded 1 penalty in their favor and 1 against them.

His numbers with the team currently managed by Marcelo Gallardo are different, although the record is even: 13 matches, 5 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses. In those games, he has issued 48 yellow cards and 3 red cards, with no penalties in their favor and 2 against them.
