Madrid derby sees historic surprise
For the first time in history, the Madrid derby between Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga features a referee from the city of Madrid. The Spanish federation appointed Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias to officiate the match. This decision came after the abolition of the geographic and regional allocation criterion, which previously prevented referees from the same area from overseeing matches between local teams. This marks a historic step in La Liga refereeing. It is expected that this move will be the beginning of a change in the referee appointment system, as the federation aims to break down longstanding barriers and ensure fairness in the management of major matches.
