The story in brief
28-second readOn Tuesday evening, FC Bayern faces not only an unusual challenge on artificial turf in the Champions League. The referee assignment for the away game at Viking Stavanger is also drawing attention.
Georgi Kabakov will officiate the match—a referee who was suspended in his home country just about a year ago following a controversial VAR decision. As reported by BILD , UEFA has assigned the 40-year-old Bulgarian to officiate the German record champions’ away match in Norway.
Kickoff is at 9 p.m. This marks a first for Kabakov. The experienced referee will be officiating a competitive match for FC Bayern for the first time.
