Fábio Veríssimo will be the referee appointed for the Atlético CP - Benfica match. The decision was made by the Refereeing Council of the FPF, which announced the names of the referees who will be present in the matches aimed at the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup. In the same announcement, the Council also disclosed the other members who will accompany the referees.

According to the newspaper Record, the information presented by the Refereeing Council of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) was released this Wednesday, with the names of all the referees who will be in action in the next round of the Portuguese Cup.

It should be noted that, given the initial stage of the competition, the matches will not yet have the presence of VAR. Thus, Fábio Veríssimo will only have the support of three more professionals. The assistants of the referee who was at the center of the Porto - Braga controversy will be Nélson Pereira and Francisco Pereira. Bruno Vieira will be the 4th referee for the match against the Alcântara team.

In the same information, the referees for the direct rivals of the Eagles are also known. In the case of Sporting, which will face Marinhense, the match will be refereed by Ricardo Baixinho. On the other hand, Porto, which will host Sintrense, will have Hélder Malheiro present.

It is worth remembering that the match between Benfica and Atlético CP is scheduled for this Friday night, November 21st. Until then, José Mourinho is preparing for the duel with some absences and knows that there is a duo likely to be left out of the options.
