The eight referees of the Final Four

The dietary staff for the largest phase of the season includes a distinguished blend of experienced veterans and referees participating in a Final Four for the first time. These are Ilija Belosevic, Mehdi Difallah, Robert Lottermoser, Carlos Peruga, Milan Nedovic, Carmelo Paternico, Emilio Perez Pizarro and Arturas Sukys.

The option reflects Euroleague Basketball’s continued commitment to arbitration at the highest levels of the sport. The team combines over 120 years of experience at Euroleague and includes four referees who make their Final Four debut, enhancing the championship’s efforts to honor its most trusted referees and highlight new high -level talents.

Belosevic and Difallah were both at the headquarters who worked at the Final Four of 2024 in Berlin. Next to Belosevic, who will oversee his 10th Final Four, and to Lottermozer, for which this will be his ninth trip to the top European basketball event, are the newcomers to the Final Four Nedovic, Paurnico, Perez Pyzaro and Soukaris.

“Refereeing in the Final Four requires the same level of excellence, preparation and coldness required by players and coaches,” said Daniel Jerezuelo, director of EuroLeague Basketball. “This year’s team includes some of the most respected referees in European basketball, as well as several referees who have won this opportunity through years of consistent performance. I am sure they will help to achieve a fair, balanced and professionally organized event in Abu Dhabi. ”
