I Liga: Referees who failed the physical tests in FC Porto and Benfica matches

Diário de Coimbra9 September 2026 at 18:00

Referees who failed the physical tests during I Liga matches, specifically in games involving FC Porto and Benfica, did not meet the necessary requirements in these physical assessments. The referees in question will have to repeat the tests in the Recycling and Evaluation Actions (ARA) after a 30-day period.

This situation arises in the context of the mandatory physical assessments that referees in the Portuguese I Liga regularly undergo. The requirement to repeat the tests after 30 days indicates that the referees will have a new opportunity to demonstrate that they meet the physical conditions necessary to continue refereeing at the highest level of Portuguese football.
