Palmeiras v Capivariano: FPF appoints referee for Paulistão quarter-final | OneFootball

The São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) announced this Thursday (19) the refereeing team for the match between Palmeiras and Capivariano, in the quarterfinals of the Campeonato Paulista. Referee Edina Alvez Batista will be in charge of officiating the game, which takes place this Saturday (21), at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Arena Barueri.

History in Verdão’s matches

The last Palmeiras match refereed by Edina was Palmeiras’ victory over Mirassol, at Maião, by 3 to 2. The game was valid for the last round of the group stage of the 2025 Campeonato Paulista. On that occasion, Verdão qualified for the knockout stage.

First match in the 2026 Paulistão

Although she has already worked in other matches in the competition, the quarterfinal clash between Palmeiras and Capivariano will be the first that the referee will officiate in the 2026 Paulistão. In the other matches, Edina was part of the VAR team.

No bracket system

With the new regulations, the Paulistão does not have a bracket system in the quarterfinals. The overall points will continue to count and the semifinal matchups will be determined by this criterion. After the matches, the first placed team will face the fourth, and the second will face the third.
