Joao Pinheiro was to be the main referee for the friendly match against racism that Spain and Brazil will play at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, but in the end it will be Antonio Nobre. This referee has never been in charge of any clash between these two national teams, at least in their senior divisions, as he has already been involved in the lower categories of the 'Selecao'.

Portugal's Antonio Nobre will be the referee for the Spain-Brazil friendly match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid on Tuesday, replacing his compatriot Joao Pinheiro, who was initially appointed.

Born in Caldas da Rainha 35 years ago, he has been an international since 2022 and will referee both national teams for the first time, although he has refereed Brazil at youth level.

Nobre began his international career at international level in U-17 European Championship matches with Italy v Turkey and his first senior match was a 2-0 Nations League clash between Luxembourg and Turkey in June 2022. His last match between national teams was Switzerland-Kosovo (1-1) last November.

This season, he has refereed matches in the Europa League, the Conference League and the Bayern Munich-Galatasaray Champions League match (2-1). Portuguese referees Bruno Jesus and Luciano Maia will be the linesmen and the fourth official will be Gustavo Correia.
