Another significant recognition for Albanian refereeing and for international referee Enea Jorgji, who has been selected to officiate one of the toughest and most watched matches in the Greek championship — the fiery Athens derby between AEK Athens FC and Panathinaikos.
This match, valid for the “Play Off” phase of the Super League Greece, will be played on May 4th at 19:00 and is eagerly awaited due to the historic rivalry between the two teams and the fight for the championship title.
The appointment of the Albanian referee for this fixture comes after an official request from the Hellenic Football Federation to the Albanian Football Federation, as a sign of trust and appreciation that European federations have for the level of refereeing in Albania.
The 40-year-old referee will be supported by his regular assistants, Denis Rexha and Ridiger Çokaj, together representing Albania with dignity and professionalism in this high-level encounter.
The AFA considers this another moment of success for Albanian refereeing, which has made significant progress over the years and is increasingly recognized by international football institutions. The involvement of Albanian referees in such prestigious matches is the result of continuous work to improve quality and standards in this sector.
