On the basis of sources and the UEFA Champions League Play-Off referee appointments that have been made public today, two significant novelties can be outlined.UEFA's referee committee has obviously decided to appoint FIFA assistant referees for the task of the fourth official in matches where additional assistant referees are deployed. In case of an injured referee, the higher classified additional assistant referee will replace him.
Besides, it is the first time for years that UEFA has nominated an Elite Development referee to take control over a Champions League Play-Off. Marijo Strahonja (photo) of Croatia will oversee the important match between FC Kobenhavn (DEN) and OSC Lille (FRA). Based on other appointments in UEFA Europa League, it is quite probable that others will follow in tomorrow's appointments and next week. Probable bets are Tom Harald Hagen (NOR), Pavel Královec (CZE) and Milorad Mazic (SRB). These matches are mostly not the most sonorous ones, so that this decision appears logical. Nonetheless, specially last year's matches have remarkably shown their potentially high difficulty the officials have to cope with.
