If arbitration is denounced in Beninese football, some stand out from the crowd. Central referee during the shock Elite AC and AS Gamia, counting the third day of zone A of the women’s championship, Antonietta Atcha allowed this match to be an enjoyable match. She stayed above the meeting. She has shown no favoritism in this game.
Without letting herself be put under pressure, either by the players or by the staff, the young lady at the whistle remained the same. She is rigorous in decision making, she has demonstrated professionalism and stands out from the crowd of women or men in black suits. This young woman’s designation for this shock encounter is more than deserved. And she proved it during this duel. Like a Stéphanie Frappart, Antoinette Atcha had a perfect match. Despite the enormous pressure from the audience, she managed to handle the excitement of the players without getting carried away. She is wise in making decisions, she has a spirit of communication which allows her to appease the anger of the players. Open, she talks to any player who comes to her to ask for a good explanation. During this match, Antoinette Atcha was on top of her game. While all is not perfect in refereeing in Benin, ladies of the whistle like Antoinette Atcha give a huge guarantee for a better tomorrow of the Benin whistle.
