Greek referee Vasilis Fotias says officials are ready for Super League derbies

International Greek referee Vasilis Fotias told ERA Sport that the Central Refereeing Committee (KED) is undergoing frequent changes, but its focus on training has been valuable. He welcomed the continued presence of Steffen Lanoua on the committee, describing it as a positive development.

Fotias said there is a sufficient number of Greek referees to handle demanding matches and that they are eager to take on tough derby games in the upcoming Stoiximan Super League season. He also supported the KED’s proposal to evaluate referees, calling it a useful measure to keep officials alert and improve standards.

The comments were made ahead of the new league calendar, with Fotias emphasizing confidence in Greek officials’ ability to manage high‑profile fixtures.
