The referee taking charge of Inter Miami’s Major League Soccer game against Orlando on Saturday has been changed just hours before kickoff.

Guiherme Ceretta was initially listed as the referee for the game between the Flordia rivals but pictures emerged on X of him wearing a Miami jersey on Saturday morning.

The Professional Referee Organization (PRO) took notice quickly and made a swift change, with Jamie Herrera now in control.

Referee Guiherme Ceretta was removed from the game due to a potential conflict,’ PRO said in a statement reported by The Athletic.

The social media account MLS Referee Stats shared the pictures of Ceretta wearing a Miami jersey.
