Raphael Claus to referee Fla-Flu for the fifth year running | OneFootball

The CBF has appointed the officiating crew for the derby between Fluminense and Flamengo, scheduled for this Saturday at the Maracanã, for the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. Raphael Claus will be the referee in charge.

The São Paulo referee has frequently officiated this derby in recent years. Since 2020, Claus has already overseen six matches between Flamengo and Fluminense, with a record of four wins for Flamengo and two victories for Fluminense.

Another curious detail is the recent streak: this will be the fifth consecutive season in which Raphael Claus has been assigned to officiate a Fla-Flu. In recent years, the referee has been one of the CBF’s recurring choices for Rio de Janeiro’s most traditional derby.
