Referee Raphael Claus and assistant referees Nailton Oliveira and Fabrini Bevilaqua have been appointed by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) to officiate the final of the UAE President’s Cup, which will be played this Friday between Al-Jazira and Al-Ain. The request was made by the United Arab Emirates Football Association (UAE FA) and arranged with the CBF Refereeing Commission.

“For us, this is further proof that our refereeing is already internationally recognized. I’m sure it will be a great match with top-class officiating. It is the most anticipated match of the 2026 season in the Middle East. This invitation is essential to confirm that we are on the right path, together, to build the best refereeing in the world for the coming years,” said Rodrigo Cintra, president of the CBF Refereeing Commission.
