The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced this Wednesday, March 11, the refereeing team appointed for the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. José Bessa was chosen to officiate the match between Arouca and Benfica.

José Bessa does not bring good memories to the fans of the Glorious. The most critical episode in the memory of the Reds dates back to the victory (2-1) during the visit to Alverca's ground. In that match, the referee expelled right-back Amar Dedic for accumulating yellow cards.

The Reds will return to the field next Saturday, March 14, against Arouca, in a match related to the 26th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The match against the team led by Vasco Seabra will be played at 8:30 PM, at the opponent's ground.
