Less than a week away from the crucial match for the second place in group G, Conmebol announced the refereeing staff that will take charge of the 90 minutes, which is characterized by being composed of referees from different nationalities, specifically from Chile, Bolivia, and Uruguay.
Who will be the referees of Santa Fe vs. Universitario?
The main referee of the match will be the Chilean Felipe González, 43 years old and FIFA licensed since 2019. In the past, he was a professional footballer, but had to retire at the age of 27 due to an injury to the cruciate ligament and external meniscus. Since 2016 he has been working in this role and has only refereed one match involving Peruvian teams in Conmebol tournaments, precisely the 2-0 defeat of Sport Huancayo against Montevideo Wanderers in Uruguay for the Sudamericana of that year.
But he will not be alone. González will be accompanied by the assistant referees Carlos Poblete and Ulises Ureta, both from Chile; while the fourth official will be the Bolivian Gaad Flores. On the other hand, the VAR officials will be the Uruguayan Mathias de Armas (main referee) and the Bolivian Juan Montaño (assistant).
