The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) announced on Tuesday afternoon the appointments from the Professional Section of the Refereeing Council for the matches of the third round of the Primeira Liga. The designated referees include Luís Veríssimo and João Pinheiro, who will officiate games in Alvalade and at the Dragão, respectively.

The selection of referees comes at a time when teams are preparing for another round of the competition, thus promising new discussions about the referees' decisions on the field.
