Wilton Pereira Sampaio to referee Flamengo v Vasco in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Referee from Goiás will officiate the Flamengo vs Vasco derby

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed this Thursday (30) the officiating crew for the derby between Flamengo and Vasco. Wilton Pereira Sampaio, from Goiás, will be in charge of this Sunday’s (03) clash at the Maracanã, starting at 4:00 PM (Brasília time).

WHAT IS WILTON’S RECORD IN FLAMENGO MATCHES?

Overall, Wilton Pereira Sampaio has refereed 42 Flamengo matches. The Most Beloved won 24, drew nine, and lost nine. In 2026, the referee from Goiás has overseen only one Mengão match, and it is not a good memory for the Rubro-Negro. After all, São Paulo came out on top 2-1 at Morumbi in the opening round of the Brasileirão.

Wilton has officiated only one Flamengo vs Vasco match in his career, and it was historic. That is because, after the game, Bruno Henrique immortalized the phrase “we are on another level.” The referee from Goiás officiated the 4-4 draw at the Maracanã in the 2019 Brasileirão, which the Most Beloved would later go on to win.

WHERE TO WATCH FLAMENGO VS VASCO?

The Clássico of Millions will be broadcast by Globo on free-to-air TV across much of Brazil. In addition, GETV on YouTube and Premiere via pay-per-view will show Flamengo’s match against Vasco in the 14th round of the Brasileirão.

However, the best and most Rubro-Negro coverage is from Coluna do Fla. On the website, social media, and YouTube, our team will bring you everything about the clash that could move Flamengo closer to the top of the Brazilian Championship standings.

For the match, Flamengo will be without Arrascaeta, Lucas Paquetá, and Erick Pulgar, who are still under the care of the medical department. In addition, Emerson Royal and Bruno Henrique are doubtful for the derby. The full-back suffered a broken nose, and the forward took a foot injury against Estudiantes (ARG).
