Greek Super League officiating developments

Overview

Discussions regarding officiating in the Greek Stoiximan Super League have centered on whether domestic referees are prepared for high-stakes matches. Following strong performances in cup competitions, there have been calls to allow Greek officials to oversee major league fixtures, which have previously been assigned to foreign referees. Referee appointments continue to face scrutiny. The selection of Konstantinos Tetsila for the Panetolikos versus Kalamata match has drawn attention due to past controversial decisions and subsequent disciplinary action. Additionally, referee Angelos Zambalas was removed from the officiating list following controversial VAR interventions during a recent match involving Kalamata.

For the third round of the Super League, the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO) released appointments including German international Felix Zwayer for the Panathinaikos versus PAOK derby. Moving into the fourth matchday, the Central Referee Committee (KED) has continued to utilize international officials for major fixtures. Italian referee Andrea Colombo has been appointed to lead the Thessaloniki derby between PAOK and Aris at Toumba Stadium, supported by an all-Italian officiating team consisting of assistants Giuseppe Perotti and Giorgio Peretti, with Marco Di Bello serving as the VAR official. The VAR team for this match will also include Ivano Petzuto.

Other fourth-matchday assignments include Stavros Tsimenteridis for Panathinaikos versus Panetolikos, Vasileios Fotias for Olympiacos versus OFI, Anastasios Papapetrou for the Asteras Aktor versus AEK fixture, Vasilis Fitas for Kalamata versus Volos, and Eleftherios Katopis for Iraklis versus Atromitos. Konstantinos Tsetsilas is scheduled to officiate the Kifisia versus Levadiakos match.
