World Cup refs take charge of Fluminense and Vasco in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

The CBF has appointed the referees for the two matches between Fluminense and Vasco in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Both matches will be officiated by FIFA-listed referees who were at the World Cup.

The first leg, which will be played at the Maracanã, will be refereed by Ramon Abatti Abel, from Santa Catarina. The second leg will be overseen by Wilton Pereira Sampaio, from Goiânia. Both referees were part of the officiating team at the 2026 World Cup.

Wilton Pereira also took charge of one of the matches between Fluminense and Vasco in the 2025 Copa do Brasil semifinal. On that occasion, Tricolor won 1-0 in regular time, but Vasco advanced on penalties.

Fluminense and Vasco will face each other on August 1 and 5 in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Both matches will be played at the Maracanã, just like in 2025.
