In the past two decades, there have been two great players in world football who have broken various records. They are Argentine Messi and Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
Because of this, everyone who has anything to do with the sport and has shared these two references would probably consider it an honor to share, face or mentor two men who are already considered to be footballing glory.
A man connected to football had the opportunity to share with these two important world leaders, and he did it in just 10 days.
This is the Colombian referee Wilma RoldanWho is Judge Antioquia? He coached the Argentinian Messi in the national team and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo in the club.
How can this be?
It may be common for some Colombian referees to coach games with Argentina’s Messi on the field because they are from South American football clubs in the same league as Colombia, and this may happen in qualifying matches, like the Copa America.
However, for Colombian referees to officiate official matches where Cristiano Ronaldo is present, this is even less likely, especially given that the matches are between clubs from different leagues and are not at an international level.
For his part, the Colombian judge took charge of Celeste’s 10 games in the first match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers Argentina The match against Ecuador will be held on September 7, 2023 at the Mas Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Ten days later, on Saturday, September 16, 2023, Antio Quinho was appointed to direct Al-Raad and Al Nasr Football Club, the latter played by Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo. This game was played in the 6th game of the Saudi Professional League.
In the Arabian Peninsula, he was accompanied as assistants by Alexander Guzman and Miguel Roldan (Vilma’s brother).
Roldan’s luxury
