Iancu Ioan Vasilica

Iancu Ioan Vasilica, born in 1985, is a Portuguese referee with experience in the Liga Portugal 2 and other national competitions. He is not one of the most media-focused referees, but his name has been in the headlines recently due to situations off the field as well as on it.

He is not a referee known for exaggerated gestures or constant interventions. He usually handles matches discreetly, without stirring up too many controversies. However, in January 2024, his name appeared in the headlines due to a disciplinary process from which he was ultimately acquitted. Not many details were given about the case, but the fact that he was under investigation caused some commotion.

On the pitch, he tries to let the game flow without unnecessary interruptions. He is not particularly strict with cards, although he knows how to assert himself when necessary. He has not yet made the leap to the Primeira Liga, but he remains on the radar of Portuguese refereeing, with room to continue growing in his career.
