Historical for Albania/ Four referees judge for the first time the group match in the Champions League

For the first time in history, a quartet of Albanian referees will judge a group stage match in the most important competition for clubs, the Champions League.

The Communication Department in the AFL informs that referees Enea Jorgji, the main one, assistants Denis Rexha and Ridiger Çokaj, as well as Florian Lata as the fourth referee, will direct the match of Group G, Jang Bojs-Leipzig, which will be played on the 19 September in Switzerland.

Enea Jorgji has been promoted by the Referee Committee in UEFA to the First Category, while with his appearances in Europe, he aims to very quickly reach the highest refereeing category "Elite", which is actually the objective for all those who start the referee profession.

In the past, Albanian referees have refereed international matches of the eliminatory levels or even important international friendlies, but not UEFA Champions League group stage matches.
