The European football governing body, UEFA, has reaffirmed its confidence in officials from Kosovo by assigning referees from the nation to officiate two key matches in the upcoming Conference League second qualifying round. In the first assignment, Kosovar referee Mervan Bejtullah has been appointed to direct the fixture between Ilves and Stjarnan. This match is scheduled for April 30th at Tammelan Stadion in Tampere, with kickoff set for 18:00.
Bejtullah will be supported by a panel that includes fellow Kosovar referees Edmond Zeqiri and Bashkim Hyseni, with Alban Shala serving as the fourth official. Furthermore, UEFA has entrusted another Kosovar official, Genc Nuza, to take charge of the second pairing in the Conference League. This assignment underscores the organization’s continued reliance on the expertise of referees from Kosovo for significant continental fixtures.
These two appointments confirm the participation of Kosovar officiating teams across the initial stages of the Conference League campaign. The assignments highlight the level of trust placed in the local refereeing corps by the continental body for these crucial preliminary matches. The selection of these officials for the second qualifying round underscores their perceived competence at the European level.
