Referee from Goiás will officiate Flamengo vs Vitória at the Maracanã

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has confirmed the officiating crew for the match between Flamengo and Vitória. Wilton Pereira Sampaio, from Goiás, will be in charge of the clash on August 9 (Sunday) at the Maracanã, starting at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time).

WHAT IS WILTON’S RECORD IN FLAMENGO MATCHES?

Overall, Wilton Pereira Sampaio has refereed 43 Flamengo matches. The Most Beloved has won 24, drawn 10, and lost nine. In 2026, the referee from Goiás has overseen two Mengão matches, and the memory is not a good one for the Rubro-Negro. After all, São Paulo came out on top 2-1 at Morumbi in the opening round of the Brasileirão.

In addition, in the 14th round of the Brasileirão, Flamengo took the lead against Vasco at the Maracanã. However, they saw the opponent react in the second half and equalize in stoppage time.

Wilton has officiated only one Flamengo vs Vitória match in his career. In August 2018, the Rio de Janeiro side beat the team from Bahia 1-0 with a goal by Diego Ribas, in the 20th round of the Brasileirão.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS VITÓRIA?

The match will not be broadcast on free-to-air TV. On the other hand, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will air Flamengo’s game against Vitória in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.

However, the best and most rubro-negra coverage is Coluna do Fla’s. On the website, social media, and YouTube, our team will bring you everything about the clash that could move Flamengo closer to the top of the Brazilian Championship table.

For the match, Flamengo will be without Erick Pulgar and De La Cruz, both suspended. In addition, the rubro-negro side is still unsure whether it will be able to count on Luiz Araújo, who is recovering from a knee injury.

On the other hand, Leonardo Jardim is hoping to have two important reinforcements available. That is because Lucas Paquetá (in recovery after a thigh injury) and Gonzalo Plata (knee tendinitis) could be available. However, since the schedule will be paused for ten days, a final decision on whether the players will return will only be made in the days leading up to the match.
