A German refereeing trio will officiate this Sunday’s (31) friendly between Brazil and Panama at the Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time). Daniel Schlager will be the main referee, Sven Washitzki-Günther and Lasse Koslowski will serve as assistant referees, while the fourth official will be Florian Badstübner. On VAR duty will be Christian Dingert and Katrin Rafalski.

The appointment is part of an exchange between the CBF and the German Football Association. Also on Sunday, Germany and Finland will face off at the MEWA Arena in Mainz, with a Brazilian refereeing team: Matheus Delgado Candançan (referee), Victor Hugo Imazu dos Santos and Alex Ang Ribeiro (assistant referees), Paulo Cesar Zanovelli (fourth official), and Rodrigo D’Alonso Ferreira and Rodrigo Guarizo Ferreira do Amaral (VAR).

According to Rodrigo Cintra, president of the CBF Refereeing Commission, this agreement is “proof of the respect for and quality of Brazilian refereeing, with worldwide recognition.”

In Brazil vs. Panama, the new resolutions implemented by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the body that determines the rules of football, will already be in effect in VAR protocols, goal kicks, throw-ins and substitutions, among other changes. The changes were presented to the players and members of the coaching staff this Friday (29).
