A landmark event happened in Ukrainian football

A landmark event happened in Ukrainian football - for the first time in the last quarter of a century, the referees from our country will officiate a match of the group tournament of the Champions League.

The Ukrainian team of referees has been assigned to the match between Real Sociedad and Salzburg, which will take place the day after tomorrow, November 29, in San Sebastian.

The Ukrainian team will be headed by Mykola Balakin, assistants - Oleksandr Berkut and Dmytro Zaporozhenko, fourth referee - Yaroslav Kozyk.

This has not happened since 1998, when Vasyl Melnychuk was the main referee at the match in Bilbao between the local Athletic Club and the Norwegian Rosenborg.
