Polish referee named for VAR duty in Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş derby
Poland's Tomasz Kwiatkowski has been confirmed as the VAR referee for the Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş derby in matchweek four of the Trendyol Süper Lig.
One of Turkish football's most closely watched fixtures is set to take place in matchweek four of the Trendyol Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş will face off this evening at 20.00 at Chobani Stadyumu. Ahead of kick-off, the referee assignments for the derby have now been finalized.
Halil Umut Meler has been appointed as the main referee for the match. He will be assisted on the lines by Çağlar Uyarcan and Bora Özkara. With these names confirmed, the on-field officiating team for the derby is now complete.
Perhaps the most notable detail, however, concerns the VAR booth. Poland's Tomasz Kwiatkowski has been assigned as the VAR referee for the Fenerbahçe-Beşiktaş derby. The appointment of a foreign official for video assistance has become a talking point among fans and club staff ahead of the match.
Kwiatkowski will be supported by Murat Altan in the AVAR role. This means the VAR team combines both local and foreign officials for the occasion. With the full refereeing panel now set, attention turns fully to the action on the pitch.
