Two foreign referees have been selected to officiate crucial fixtures in the 22nd round of the Tunisian Ligue 1, as the league enters a decisive phase.
The Tunisian Football Federation’s refereeing body has appointed Portugal’s Luis Godinho and Montenegro’s Milos Boskovic to take charge of two highly anticipated encounters.
Godinho has been assigned to officiate the clash between Espérance Sportive de Tunis and Étoile Sportive du Sahel, a fixture that carries significant weight in the title race.
Meanwhile, Boskovic will oversee the match between US Monastir and Club Africain, another pivotal contest as both sides battle for position at the top of the table.
The decision to bring in foreign officials reflects the high stakes of these matches and is intended to ensure fairness and minimize controversy in games that could influence the outcome of the season.
Tunisian football authorities have increasingly turned to international referees for high-profile encounters in an effort to reduce officiating disputes and maintain the credibility of domestic competitions.
Espérance de Tunis and Étoile du Sahel have long been fierce rivals, and their upcoming showdown is expected to be intense, with both teams vying for dominance in the league.
Similarly, the fixture between US Monastir and Club Africain is set to be a closely contested battle, given the teams’ strong performances this season.
With the league entering its final stretch, these matches could prove decisive in shaping the title race and securing qualification spots for continental competitions.
The presence of experienced foreign referees is seen as a strategic move to ensure impartiality and maintain the integrity of Tunisia’s top football division.
