In due course Law 5 Blog will present the exhaustive roster of referees who UEFA consider able to handle matches with VAR.
Igor Pajač, Hugo Miguel and Viktor Kassai handled today's games in Saudi Pro League.
ReplyDeleteCan we conclude, that those referees therefore are not available for matches in this season's CL group stage and EL KO stage?
ReplyDeleteYes, pretty certainly. Manuel Schüttengruber has confirmed this in an interview he gave to an Austrian newspaper two weeks ago:

Some names on that list would have deserved much more a CL debut (e.g. Dabanović, Peljto) than others already appointed this season (e.g. Palabiyik). At the same time, names like the Montenegrin and Bosnian can still earn valuable experience from EL group stage matches, before being sent to the Champions League turf.

I don't know why, but I feel as if Letexier will make his (IMO too early) CL debut this week. Also due to the lack of Category 1 referees, who are currently at U17 WC in Brazil. Furthermore, the young Frenchman has the advantage of using VAR regularly in his domestic competitions.
I expect Sandro Schärer to have a debut in Champuons League.
DeleteIt is no secret that UEFA are pushing referees trained with VAR in their domestic competitions - it is very conceivable that both Letexier and Schärer will make their débuts this season.
DeleteI would even fully expect it for the Swiss: he performed well in London in an easy game under the eyes of Kýros Vassáras last time out.
I like your post It is very informative post. Thanks for sharing this informative with us .Interesting information about the a debut in Champions League.
