Brazilian referee Ramon Abatti Abel has been praised by the International Football Federation (Fifa). This valuation indicates his likely lineup for important games in this World Cup. The information was released by Ana Paula Oliveira, commentator on the UOL portal.
According to Oliveira, the professional from Santa Catarina is seen as one of the most promising referees in South America today. Such recognition by the entity justifies the trust placed in its work. This Monday, June 15, Abatti Abel will lead the duel between the teams of Belgium and Egypt, which will take place in Seattle, in the United States.
The match will start at 4pm Brasília time. The arbitration team will also have the presence of assistants Danilo Manis and Rafael Alves. This designation reinforces the presence of Brazilians on international stages, following the example of Wilton Pereira Sampaio, who had already been selected to open the World Cup between Mexico and South Africa.
Egypt Coach Analyzes Duel and Points out Belgium’s Favoritism
In his assessment, Hossam Hassan, coach of the Egyptian team, considered Belgium as favorites for the upcoming clash. This perception is based on the recent history of the Europeans, semi-finalists in 2018, and the presence of big stars in their current squad.
During the press conference, Hassan stated: “When we talk about the favorites, I believe Belgium is among them. They occupy sixth place in the rankings and are a football powerhouse.”
Despite recognizing the opponent, Hassan expressed his confidence in his own team, concluding: “I continue to believe in my team.” Many Brazilian fans already monitor betting platforms, looking for the best odds for their predictions on the competition.
