The match of the fourth round of the election cycle of the Emergency 2026 between the teams of Ukraine and Azerbaijan will be officiated by referees from Austria. The UEFA press service reports this.
Sebastian Geshamer was appointed as the head referee, assisted by Ronald Riedel and Santino Schreiner. The role of reserve referee was taken over by Walter Altmann.
The VAR system is credited to Manuel Schuttengruber and Cristian-Petru Ciokirk.
Until now, the 36-year-old Austrian competed in the matches Kryvbas - Viktoria Plzen (1:2) in the 2024/25 European League qualification, as well as Dynamo Kiev - Aris (2:1) in the selection. In addition, he officiated the Euro U-17 selection match between the national teams of Ukraine and Spain (0:1) in 2019.
