THE Julian Weinberger was appointed by KED to direct the first match of the “16” of the Cup between Panathinaikos and Olympic on Wednesday. In VAR will be his compatriot Manuel Stengruber.
The Austrian referee was last year at PAOK-Panathinaikos 1-2 for the 6th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League (2/10/2022), while on 12/8/2021 he “whistled” PAOK-Bohemians 2-0 for the 3rd qualifier round of the Conference League. Also, on 12/6/2022 they were in Greece-Kosovo 2-0 for the Nations League.
This year he has managed Hecken-Leverkusen 0-2 for Europa and Breitblick-Ghent 2-3 for the Conference League.
In the AEK-Aris referees will be o Slovenian Matej Jug with compatriot Kajnatovic on VAR. It is worth noting that with the 43-year-old referee, “Union” has no victory in five games (4 draws-1 loss), while he has never “whistled” Aris. He was at Dynamo Kyiv-AEK 0-0 (22/2/2018), Bayern-AEK 2-0 (7/11/2018), AEK-Olympiakos 0-0 (26/1/2020), AEK-Panathinaikos 0- 0 (8/5/2022) and AEK-Ajax 1-1 (5/10/2023).
