Former UEFA Champions League final referee sent off by current Spanish FIFA referee

Getafe’s LaLiga victory over Elche produced one of the quirkiest stories of the matchday - and arguably the season. In the closing stages of the Week 14 clash at the Estadio Coliseum, referee Alejandro Hernández Hernández brandished a red card in the direction of the Getafe bench. At first glance, the recipient seemed to be José Bordalás, Los Azulones’ ever-fiery head coach. Bordalás even protested the decision as if it were aimed squarely at him. However, Hernández Hernández’s official match report revealed a surprising twist: the man sent off was a familiar face in officiating circles - Manuel Mejuto González, a former top-flight referee and now Getafe’s matchday delegate. “In the 90th minute, delegate Mejuto González, Manuel Enrique, was dismissed for the following reason,” reads the referee’s report documenting the incident. “As the person responsible for the stadium’s ball boys, he was held accountable for their behavior during the second half, which caused several delays in restarting play.”
Mejuto González, considered one of the best referees in Spanish football, ended his career in 2010 after officiating the Copa del Rey final on May 19, played between Atlético de Madrid and Sevilla, which Sevilla won thanks to goals from Diego Capel and Jesús Navas. An international referee since 1999, he participated in two European Championships and the legendary Champions League final in which Liverpool came back from 0-3 against AC Milan before winning on penalties.

Referee dishes out 17 red cards in a Copa Bolivia mass brawl

A Copa Bolivia quarter-final between Club Blooming and Real Oruro descended into chaos, with the referee dishing out a staggering 17 red cards, including 16 following a massive brawl that required police intervention with pepper spray.
The fracas began with what Bolivian outlet El Potosi described as a scuffle involving some Blooming players and Oruro's Sebastian Zeballos and Julio Vila. The altercation quickly spiralled as punches and kicks broke out in a frenzy, with both clubs' staff, including Oruro coach Marcelo Robledo, also getting involved. Oruro posted a picture on Instagram showing Robledo in hospital after Tuesday's brawl, which resulted in four of their players receiving red cards. 
Blooming fared even worse in the disciplinary stakes, with seven players sent off – six of those red cards coming after the brawl. The other six red cards were given to the teams' backroom staff, including the Oruro coach. Blooming shared an Instagram video saying a member of their security staff had undergone surgery for a fractured cheekbone sustained during the violence. Blooming advanced to the semi-finals after winning the tie 4-3 on aggregate, having taken a 2-1 advantage from the first leg. They will now face Club Bolivar, last year's Bolivian top-flight champions, in the semi-finals.

Top African referee Karboubi angrily retires after shock AFCON exclusion

Morocco’s trailblazing referee Bouchra Karboubi has officially announced her retirement from active refereeing after being excluded from the list of match officials selected for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Karboubi, widely regarded as one of Africa’s finest and most respected referees, expressed deep disappointment over her omission, particularly given that the continental showpiece was taking place in her home country. The experienced referee made history by becoming the first woman to officiate a senior men’s CAF Champions League match and featured prominently at AFCON 2023 in the Ivory Coast, where she received widespread praise for her professionalism, fairness, and game management. However, despite her achievements and strong reputation, Karboubi’s name was absent from the final list of referees released by CAF for the AFCON 2025. According to reports, the Moroccan official felt “hurt and disrespected” by the decision and immediately opted to call time on her career. With Morocco hosting the tournament, many believed she would be a key part of the officiating crew yet her unexpected exclusion has now left a major question mark over the referee selection process.
At 38 years old, Bouchra Karboubi was considered one of the best referees in Africa. She recently officiated the opening match of the first-ever Women’s Champions Cup between Jiangda WFC and Auckland United FC. Karboubi officiated major competitions throughout her career, including the Botola, the Throne Cup, the Olympic Games, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and the Africa Cup of Nations. She hoped to referee matches at the 2026 Men’s World Cup and the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil. In a letter addressed to Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), Karboubi has announced her retirement from football refereeing and accused the National Refereeing Directorate of blocking her progress and ending her career prematurely. Karboubi expressed her pride in representing Morocco on the international stage: “I have represented my country in the best way possible in all the international competitions where I was called to officiate. I was proud to see the name of Morocco present on the continental and global stage. I achieved this thanks to your efforts in service of the Nation.” But the tone of her message changed sharply when addressing recent events. Karboubi accused the leadership of the National Refereeing Directorate of “practices” that, she says, damaged her career and erased years of work. “It is with deep regret that I find myself today facing harmful practices from the director of the National Refereeing Directorate and its members,” she wrote. She argued that their actions “disrupted” her path, “tarnished” her past and future achievements, and “destroyed an entire project.” “This pushed me to end a career to which I dedicated 25 years of my life.” Her announcement came only hours after the list of Moroccan referees selected for AFCON Morocco 2025 was published, a list she was not included in. Her retirement announcement has sparked reactions across African football circles, with many describing her exclusion as shocking and unjust. The FRMF has not yet issued a statement in response to the controversy.

CAF Referee of the Year 2025 (Women): Shamirah Nabadda (UGA)

Omar Artan’s crowning as the 2025 CAF Referee of the Year has become one of the most celebrated moments in African football this season. The honor was bestowed during a vibrant CAF Awards ceremony on 19 November 2025, held at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Rabat, Morocco, an event widely regarded as the pinnacle of African football celebration.​ Omar Artan, hailing from Somalia, has distinguished himself over recent seasons as one of Africa’s most respected referees. During the 2025 football year, his presence in top-tier matches from Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to CAF Champions League fixtures established his reputation for calm authority and decisiveness. As he accepted his award, Artan expressed gratitude to CAF, fellow referees, and his home country, emphasizing the collective progress made by African referees. He highlighted how investment in training and technology has elevated the continent’s refereeing standards, inspiring newer generations and contributing to the credibility of African competitions. “I am proud to receive this award. It is a privilege for me”, he said. CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe personally congratulated Artan, noting that his achievement reflects the remarkable rise in professionalism and influence among African referees. The award is widely regarded as a symbol of shifting perceptions and increasing respect for African officials in international football.​ (Source: Dawan)


Ugandan FIFA referee Shamirah Nabadda has won the 2025 CAF Women's Referee of the Year. Nabadda's recognition comes after another outstanding year in which she officiated major continental and global tournaments - including the African Nations Championships jointly hosted by Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania - reinforcing her status as one of Africa's most respected referees. At just 29, Nabadda has built an impressive refereeing résumé. She made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics as the first female Ugandan referee to officiate at the Games, a breakthrough moment for Ugandan officiating. Her strong performances have seen her consistently appointed to high-stakes encounters. In July, she was named centre referee for the 2024 WAFCON semi-final between South Africa and Nigeria - one of the tournament's biggest fixtures. She has previously handled matches at the 2022 WAFCON, the All-Africa Games (2023), the World University Games in Napoli (2019), the Cecafa Women's Senior Championship. In another milestone, FIFA selected Nabadda in August 2024 as one of the officials for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic, making her the first Ugandan referee to officiate at that tournament.

Former FIFA female referee Lisa Benn ‘forcefully pushed and harassed' by PGMOL male referee coach

A leading female official has told a tribunal that a male football referee coach “forcefully pushed” her during a youth level match, and that his behaviour was influenced by her gender. Lisa Benn, 34, alleges she was harassed and unfairly lost her position as an international referee after making a complaint. The Women’s Super League official had claimed that she was manhandled on a pitch in 2023 by Steve Child, a Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) coach and ex-Premier League assistant referee. Giving evidence to a south London employment tribunal on Monday, she alleged Mr. Child also told her “your card has been marked”. A PGMOL investigation found Mr. Child’s behaviour did not meet the threshold for disciplinary action. Ms. Benn alleges that the organisation’s chief refereeing officer, Howard Webb, and his wife Bibiana Steinhaus-Webb, who was then its head of women’s referees, said she would not be punished for coming forward. However, she wrote in her witness statement that, after her complaint, PGMOL did not recommend her as highly as they had previously done. Ms. Benn claimed that this cost her a prestigious place on FIFA’s international referee list.
A PGMOL-organised tournament took place to train staff on VAR, which was not yet used in the women’s game, on March 29, 2023. The schedule was delayed by a serious injury and Ms. Benn said that Mr. Child adopted a leadership role but “was flustered, he was stressed, he was charging around all over the place”. Ms. Benn alleges that the coach grabbed her arm and “forcefully pushed” her on to the pitch. She accepted that Mr. Child said “something along the lines of ‘come on let’s go'” to speed up the start of the game and said she responded by putting her palm up and telling him to “chill”. Jesse Crozier, for PGMOL, asked her: “In saying ‘come on let’s go’ he would have put his arm behind you and ushered you on to the pitch at the same time”. Ms. Benn rejected the claim, saying: “That is definitely not what happened.” The “temperature was high” during the match and Mr. Child instructed a fourth official, Ruby Sykes, to tell Ms. Benn to “kill the game”, the tribunal heard. This prompted Ms. Benn to say “don’t tell me how to referee” and “f*** off”, which was directed at Mr. Child but spoken through a communications system to Ms. Sykes, the panel was told. “I’ve never had somebody shout down the comms to tell me how to referee – I am a trusted referee, I referee at the highest level, this was an under-19s game,” Ms. Benn said. She later added: “He felt superior, he felt like he could come on and tell me how to referee, he manhandled me on to the field of play – he would never have done that to a male referee.” Mr. Crozier asked her: “You appear to take umbrage at the refereeing coach giving you coaching directions while you were refereeing.” She said: “It was a distraction because, as you mentioned, the game was difficult, the game was challenging – there was a lot going on in the game that required my attention.” Ms. Benn said she was also adjusting to “new VAR principles” that were unfamiliar to her. She became emotional as she later told the panel: “He made me feel inferior to me, as a referee and as a human being, and that’s not OK.” Asked if she had seen him act in that way to other referees, she said: “I have to female referees, yes, I haven’t to male referees.” The official said there was a “mass brawl” at the end of the game triggered by one player headbutting another. Mr. Child then grabbed her arm and told her “your card has been marked” and “you’re bloody minded”, she said. “He was so angry his eyes were bulging out of his head,” she told the panel. Ms. Benn accepted that in response she “shouted ‘what is your problem?’ in his direction”. “He didn’t turn around, he just walked off,” she said. Mr. Crozier asked her: “If you had been dragged, grabbed and pushed at a training tournament with dozens and dozens of people, someone would have seen it.” She said there would have been video recordings of the event, but she has not seen any. The barrister said that such an incident “would have been noticed, would it not?” She said: “No, I disagree.” Speaking at the tribunal on Tuesday, the 34-year-old also alleged she and fellow colleagues did not flag issues because they were worried about losing their contracts. "There is a fear in the women's group to raise grievances, to raise concerns, because of the fear of consequences," said Benn. "The irony of me being sat here is I'm unemployed - in terms of employment by PGMOL - because I raised that grievance." Benn alleged PGMOL chief refereeing officer Howard Webb, and his wife Bibi Steinhaus-Webb, then its head of women's referees, said she would not be punished for coming forward. Months later Benn went from fifth to sixth in PGMOL's nominations for FIFA's international referee list. Only the top five officials made the cut for the next season and Benn said she "was sixth because I was dealing with the baggage of this complaint". Her coach John Farries told the tribunal it was "highly unusual" for a referee to "get on to FIFA and be removed so quickly". Benn alleged she was overlooked too by Steinhaus-Webb for Women's Super League refereeing appointments. She needed to officiate five matches to be eligible for the FIFA list and that number would also put her in line for a small bonus, the tribunal heard. However Benn alleged she only received her fifth WSL game because Farries - who said it was "pretty apparent that Lisa wasn't being included" - stepped in. The tribunal panel was told Benn was offered the right to formally appeal the result of the investigation into Child, but declined to take it. Benn told the panel she "naively thought" that she had appealed by telling staff she was unhappy with the process and outcome. The panel also heard she did not respond to several emails from Steinhaus-Webb asking about what support could be put in place. "Every time I heard [Child's] name was a challenging situation for me because it brought me back to that event," added Benn. She called Farries to tell him about the incident on the same day it occurred, the panel was told. Farries said: "She was very distraught, she couldn't talk properly, she was crying and she was sputtering out what had happened to her."
In his tribunal witness statement, quoted to the panel on Wednesday, Child said "100% I did not grab" her, it was a "guiding arm if anything" but "I don't recall putting any physical contact on her". "I lightly put an arm across her back in a sense of 'let's go'," the former Premier League assistant referee added. Child refuted Benn's accusation that his treatment of her was "because she is a woman". Kick-off had been delayed by an earlier injury and a south London employment tribunal heard Child was trying to speed up the start of play. He denied grabbing Benn a second time and saying "your card has been marked" after a mass brawl broke out at the end of the fractious youth game. Carla Fischer, for Benn, said: "A six-foot man who is stressed, who has been told by the claimant to chill, physically moving a five-foot woman on to a pitch. There is absolutely no way this contact could be anything other than grabbing and manhandling, is there?" Child replied: "That's not correct." He also denied intimidating Benn in the hotel reception at a training camp they both attended on 19 August, 2023, saying: "I think that might be a confusion on Lisa's part."
At the employment tribunal, Webb - who is the PGMOL's chief refereeing officer - said the Women's Super League (WSL) official received a lower ranking because she was outperformed by others. FIFA only accepts five referees on their women's game list, but the panel was told the PGMOL had asked for them to take on a sixth for that season. Webb told the tribunal it was "our honestly held belief that she would be accepted" because of the growth of the women's game and the "noises we were hearing" from sports bodies. Unfortunately, highly regrettably, it wasn't, but unfortunately, compared to the other officials in this ranking, she was correctly placed sixth, based on the performance factors listed and the holistic view we've gone through," he said. "This is a competitive world in which we work and we need to rank officials against each other. We produce a lot of other really good officials in this country and we are in the difficult task to have to rank them against each other." Carla Fischer, for Benn, told Webb: "She made a second complaint that a male PGMOL coach made unwanted threatening remarks to a female referee in the women's game and that is why she was ranked sixth isn't it?" But Webb replied: "No, that is not correct." A meeting was held in October 2023 in which Benn discussed her issues with PGMOL's investigation and said officials feared raising grievances because of possible consequences. Recollecting the discussion, Webb added "the point being raised by Lisa that there was this sense of fear, among officials, in terms of reporting concerns. Of course, we want to know what is on the minds of our officials and for them to speak to us openly and confidently. We want our officials out on the field and performing." When asked to describe the status of the FIFA list to referees, he said: "They treasure this badge, they really, really do. We had a view that a sixth position was really, really quite likely. I think the growth of the women's game is pretty incredible and we think it's important to serve the demand", concluded Webb.
