The Argentine National Team will face Peru from 9 p.m. on the third date of the Copa América in the United States, after the 1-0 victory against Chile in New Jersey, and the referee of the match will be César Ramos, who will referee for the first time. time to the Albiceleste in an official tournament. On the first date, he was in charge of dispensing justice in the Brazil vs. Costa Rica that ended in a goalless draw, with controversial plays.
Beyond the background, his appointment sparked controversy because Mexico is a possible next rival of the world champion, if the latter finishes first in Group A (most likely, one point is enough) and the Aztecs win the head-to-head against Ecuador for the remaining spot in Group B. If the case arises, his hypothetical disciplinary decisions could directly influence that possible quarter-final duel.
Ramos began his career as a professional referee in the Liga MX (Mexican first division) and in 2014 he was granted the FIFA license that enabled him to direct internationally. Among his most important performances are the 2018 World Cup in Russia along with the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as well as a Club World Cup and the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. He also coached in the most important CONCACAF competitions: the Gold Cup and the Concachampions.
The Mexican, who is highly regarded by his federation, was present at the 2017 Club World Cup final between Real Madrid and Gremio. In 2022, he officiated in the World Cup semi-final between France and Morocco. These two matches are the highlights of his career, but during this Copa América, as long as Mexico does not advance to the final stages, he will be considered as an option to referee in important matches.
In the match between Brazil and Costa Rica, referee Ramos was involved in controversy for disallowing Marquinhos’ goal for offside and not awarding a penalty against Vinicius. The Mexican allowed physical play by the Central Americans and did not hesitate to award too many fouls. The green-yellow team finished with 13 fouls committed and the Costa Ricans with 10.
On the third date, he will be in charge of the refereeing team between Argentina and Peru, in what will be his first participation in an official match between either of the two teams. He only refereed the Albiceleste once in 2015, when Gerardo Tata Martino’s team beat Bolivia 7-0 in an international friendly.
