I Liga. Referees who failed physical tests to officiate FC Porto and Benfica

José Bessa and João Gonçalves were appointed for FC Porto and Benfica matches, respectively, in the sixth round of the Portuguese I Liga football. José Bessa will referee FC Porto's game, while João Gonçalves was assigned to Benfica's game. Both referees failed the physical tests. The appointment of the two referees was made despite the failure in the mandatory physical tests. This situation raises questions about the selection criteria for referees for the matches of the main Portuguese football league.
