Jérôme Brisard was appointed to arbitrate the Ligue 1 match between Loriant and Rennes, which will take place on the second day of the championship. This meeting is of particular importance because it is part of a Breton derby, adding an emotional and potentially more intense dimension to the confrontation. Brisard’s arbitration will be completed by Alexis Auger and Steven Torregrossa as assistants.

Stade Rennais started its 2025-2026 season on a positive note by winning his first match against Marseille at Roazhon Park. This victory was all the more remarkable as the team had to play for a long period in numerical inferiority, with one less player for almost an hour. This performance demonstrates the resilience and character of the Rennes team.

In addition to the main arbitration team, Alexaandre Perreau Niel will act as fourth arbitrator, while Wielfried Bien and William Lavis will be responsible for the video arbitration. This composition of referees ensures full coverage of the game, ensuring respect for the rules and fair decision-making throughout the game.
