Female referee faces sexism, set to lead Paulistão semi-final | OneFootball

Targeted by sexist remarks after São Paulo’s victory over Red Bull Bragantino last Saturday (21), Daiane Muniz (Fifa) will be the referee for Palmeiras vs São Paulo next Sunday (1).

This is a single match for the semifinals of the Paulistão, with the Crefisa Barueri Arena as the stage.

The on-field refereeing team will be 100% female, as the team will also include assistants Neuza Inês Back and Fabrini Costa. The fourth referee will be Marianna Nanni Batalha. Izabelle de Oliveira will be the fifth referee, and Patrícia Carla de Oliveira will serve as the field analyst.

The VAR will be led by Thiago Duarte Peixoto, accompanied by Fabrício Porfírio de Moura (AVAR1) and Thiago Luis Sarascati (AVAR2).

The author of the remarks, defender Gustavo Marques—who apologized shortly after the incident—was punished by Red Bull Bragantino.

He was left out of the match against Athletico in the Brasileirão and received a fine of 50% of his salary. The amount will be donated to the NGO Rendar, which supports women in vulnerable situations in the Bragança region.

Palmeiras and São Paulo will already know who they could face in the Paulista final, as the first semi will be between Novorizontino and Corinthians, who will face each other this Saturday (28).
