Marc Batta (born 1 November 1953) is a French former football referee.
Football career
Born in Marseille, Batta reached FIFA international status in 1990.[1] He was namely in charge of the 1993–94 Coupe de France final, also directing the first leg of the 1996–97 UEFA Cup decisive match between FC Schalke 04 and Inter Milan.[2]
In national team competitions, Batta was present at the UEFA Euro 1996[3] and the 1998 FIFA World Cup tournaments, refereeing two games in the latter.[4] During the qualification group match between Germany and Portugal (1-1 draw), with Portugal leading after 71 minutes, Batta controversially sent off Rui Costa while he was being subbed off.[5]
In July 2004 Batta succeeded Michel Vautrot as head of referees in the French Football Federation, remaining in the position for four years.[6][7] On 1 August 2012, he took up the equivalent post with the Romanian Football Federation.[8]
