Sporting learn referee for Portuguese Cup final against Torreense | OneFootball

The Arbitration Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced last Wednesday, May 20, the refereeing team appointed for the Portuguese Cup final. António Nobre was chosen to officiate the match between Sporting and Torreense.

The referee from the Leiria Football Association was appointed as the main referee for the clash between the Lions and Vitória de Guimarães, with Nélson Pereira and Francisco Pereira as assistants. Hélder Malheiro will be the fourth official. Pedro Ferreira will be on VAR, assisted by Ricardo Moreira and Nuno Eiras.

It is worth recalling that António Nobre has already been targeted on several occasions after refereeing Sporting matches. Although the green-and-whites won the most recent games officiated by the referee, the AF Leiria official came in for strong criticism from Duarte Gomes.

Rui Borges’ side will be looking to retain the prestigious cup after beating Benfica in last season’s final. If they win, the green-and-whites will also secure a place in the Super Cup against Porto.

Sporting return to action next Sunday, May 24, against Torreense. The match, the Portuguese Cup final, against Luís Tralhão’s side, will be played at 5:15 p.m. at the Estádio Nacional.
