Ferj invited club representatives to a meeting that will take place this Friday, at the entity’s headquarters. They will analyze referee resumes and try to reach a consensus on the name. If more than one referee is chosen, there will be a draw open to the press.
See Ferj’s statement:
“For the Classic of Millions, the Football Federation of the State of Rio de Janeiro invited Vasco and Flamengo to a meeting at 2:30 pm at the entity’s headquarters. The Arbitration Department (DEAF-RJ) will present referees’ CVs to the representatives of the clubs that, Once they have this data, they will analyze and indicate names for the draw. If there is consensus among the clubs around a single referee, the draw will be waived, and he will be selected for the match. The draw, if necessary, will be open to the press”.

Vasco felt harmed on more than one occasion. After the draw with Bangu, in the fourth round, he formalized a request for the referee to never referee his games again. In the defeat to Nova Iguaçu, in the last round, the federation itself informed at the end of the game that the match referee would be removed from the rosters.
