Referee Jérôme Brisard officiates in the Marseille-PSG match, with Ruddy Buquet assuming the role of the fourth official.
Stephanie Frappart has been appointed as the center referee for an exciting Ligue 1 encounter between Monaco and Metz, scheduled for Sunday at 17:15. This appointment marks Frappart's second Ligue 1 match this season, following her role as VAR in the Rennes-Lyon match.
Meanwhile, Jérôme Brisard, who has officiated a total of four matches this season, including two Ligue 1 matches and two Ligue Conference matches, will take charge of the Marseille-PSG clash on September 21. Brisard has issued a total of 23 yellow cards and two red cards this season.
In another notable appointment, Ruddy Buquet will be the 4th referee for the Marseille-PSG match. Buquet recently officiated the Rennes-Lyon match, where a controversial decision involving the non-issued red card to Anthony Rouault was made.
The Brest-Nice match in Ligue 1 will take place on September 25 at 7 pm. Hicham Zakrani and Aurelien Berthomieu, who were assistant referees for Ruddy Buquet in the Rennes-Lyon match, have been assigned as the assistant referees for this match.
The Rennes-Lyon match was also significant for Frappart, who served as the VAR and advised Buquet not to send off Rouault with the words: "It's high but it doesn't stay, it slides." Yann Flament, the Assistant VAR during the same match, also contributed to the decision-making process.
According to the French Football Federation, Anthony Rouault should have been sent off for a harsh tackle on Khalis Merah's shin during the Rennes-Lyon match. This incident has sparked discussions about the role of VAR in Ligue 1 matches.
Jérôme Brisard has officiated only one previous Classique, which was in September 2020 and resulted in OM's last win (0-1) at the Parc des Princes. With the upcoming Marseille-PSG match, Brisard will have another opportunity to make his mark in one of the most anticipated matches of the season.
Stephanie Frappart, who made history as the first woman to referee a men's Ligue 1 match in 2019, continues to break barriers in French football. Her appointment for the Monaco-Metz match is a testament to her growing influence and expertise in the sport.
As the season progresses, the appointments of referees like Frappart and Brisard will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the outcomes of Ligue 1 matches. Their decisions will be closely watched, and their performances will be scrutinised, as they navigate the complexities of the beautiful game.
