As the seventeenth day of Ligue 1 approaches, during which LOSC travels to Auxerre, the Professional Football League has revealed the identity of the referees who will officiate at each of the weekend's matches.
Frustrated by a mixed result (1-1) during the reception of FC Nantes last Saturday, LOSC intends to rectify the situation at its next deadline. This is none other than the seventeenth day of Ligue 1, during which the Mastiffs will face AJ Auxerre, promoted this season to the elite of French football. The Professional Football League recently formalized the identity of the refereeing body which will direct this opposition scheduled for this Friday at 9 p.m.
This first trip of 2025 will be led by Gaël Angoula (42 years old). The seventeenth best referee of the 2023-2024 season will be accompanied by Cedric Favre et Ludovic Reyes along the sidelines. Remi Landry will be the fourth referee when Hakim Ben El Hadj
et Philippe Lucas will be responsible for video assistance to the refereeing.
The Dogues' trip to Abbé-Deschamps will be Gaël Angoula's eleventh outing this season, the seventh in the first division. He has not yet crossed paths with LOSC, unlike AJ Auxerre who he saw fall against FC Nantes (2-0) then shine during a duel with Stade Rennais (4- 0). The record of the native of Le Havre with the Auxerre is also rather balanced, with 4 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats in eleven games. The Mastiffs only saw him onceit was December 3, 2023 during a victory against FC Metz (2-0). Gaël Angoula remains generally an inexperienced referee, with 21 matches managed in the elite since his debut in December 2021.
