The FFF has communicated the arbitration appointments for the 21st day of Ligue 2 which is held this Tuesday evening! To officiate during the meeting between the 5th and the 19th in the championship, the federation has appointed Abdelatif Kherradji!
A first for the residents of Saint-Etienne this season, not for the residents of Bastia!
Abdelatif Kherradji has officiated as center referee 12 times this season in Ligue 2! If he has already met the Sporting Club de Bastia this season on the occasion of the 4th day of the championship (Bastia / Amiens), it will be a first for the Saint-Etienne! The Bastiais had lost heavily at the Stade de la Licorne with the score of 3 goals to 1.
During these 12 L2 games refereed this season, Abdelatif Kherradji distributed 56 yellow cards and 1 red card! The 37-year-old referee also refereed 2 Coupe de France matches (including Monaco/Rodez) and a National match.

A first in the history of the Greens!
If this is indeed the first meeting of the season of the Greens refereed by Abdelatif Kherradji, it is actually also the first time in the career of the referee! The referee from the Languedoc Roussillon League, was promoted to D2 referee during the 2020/2021 season and has never refereed (as a central referee) in L1. This therefore explains why the Saint-Etienne and Abdelatif Kherradji have never met on the green rectangle.
On the other hand, the people of Bastia have already crossed his path several times in recent years. The first time was in January 2020… in National 2. Sporting had found him twice last season (once in L2, once in the Coupe de France). Record of the races in 4 matches in total: 3 wins and 1 loss.
