After Wilton Pereira Sampaio took charge of the on-field officiating in the FIFA World Cup opening match and went viral, it will be Ramon Abel Abatti’s turn to be in the spotlight in Belgium versus Egypt.
A member of the Santa Catarina federation, he will be the on-field referee for next Monday’s (15) clash, valid for the opening round of Group G and to be played in Seattle.
He will be joined by assistant referees Danilo Manis (SP) and Rafael Alves (RS).
This is Ramon Abatti’s first World Cup, though he had already worked at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and last year’s Club World Cup.
