Referee for Sporting v Bodo/Glimt officiated Portugal’s final win | OneFootball

UEFA announced this Sunday, March 15, the refereeing team appointed for the match between Sporting and Bodo/Glimt, regarding the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. Sandro Scharer will be the main referee for the match.

The Swiss official will be supported by Jonas Erni and Susanne Kung as assistants. Lukas Fahndrich will be the fourth official and the VAR team will consist of Fedayi San and Andrew Dallas. The referee will not be accompanied by Stéphane de Almeida, the assistant referee he usually works with. He has Portuguese ancestry, which is why he was replaced.

On June 8, 2025, Scharer officiated, in Germany, the final of the Nations League, in which the Portuguese national team claimed their second title in the competition, after beating Spain 5-3 on penalties, following a 2-2 draw after 120 minutes.

The 37-year-old referee will cross paths with Sporting for the second time, after having officiated the 2023/24 season match against Atalanta, the second leg of the Europa League round of 16, a match the Lions lost 2-1 after drawing 1-1 at Alvalade.

The green and white team will return to the pitch next Tuesday, March 17, once again against Bodo/Glimt. The match, counting for the second leg of this round of the Champions League, against the team coached by Kjetil Knutsen, will be played at 5:45 pm at Estádio José Alvalade.
