Henri Christophe (referee)
- Henri Christophe (referee)
Henri Christophe (July 23, 1884 – June 17, 1968) was an international football referee from Belgium in the 1920s and 1930s.
Christophe had established his international reputation at the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam – but had been a referee from 1919 and, due to Belgian's participation in the 1930 FIFA World Cup – travelled to South America alongside Jean Langenus -- on board the SS "Conte Verde" -- as one of four Europeans who officiated during the competition.
Christophe had refereed two matches at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, including the France v Italy match during the tournament. He took charge of the Sweden v Egypt quarter-final in the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris and one game Italy v France in the 1928 Summer Olympics. In Uruguay he ran the line to compatriot Jean Langenus in the final.
He was a fan of and, later, President of Cercle Sportif Vervietois.
