The match will be led by the Swiss referee Sandro Schärer, whose experience is already known by Olympique Lyonnais, having already played a role in a previous meeting in the Europa League. This previous experience is reminiscent of a painful memory for the Gones, having been eliminated by West Ham on the score of 0-3 in 2022, under his supervision.

In order to assist Mr Schärer in his task, Stéphane De Almeida and Jonas Erni will be appointed as his assistant arbitrators. Their presence in the field will help ensure rigorous management of the game and maintain the fairness of the match.

Finally, Lionel Tschudi will be responsible for acting as fourth arbitrator, while Fedayi Sané and Christian Dingert will be responsible for video assistance to arbitration (VAR), thus ensuring a thorough examination of the disputed actions.
