UEFA appoints Igor Pajac to referee Olympiacos against Stade Rennais in Europa League
UEFA has named Croatian referee Igor Pajac to officiate the Europa League league phase match between Olympiacos and Stade Rennais in France on November 4.
UEFA announced its referee appointments for the fourth matchday of the Europa League league phase, selecting Croatian official Igor Pajac to direct the match between Olympiacos and Stade Rennais. The fixture is scheduled to take place in France on November 4 at 17:30 local time.
The 41-year-old Pajac is familiar to Greek football followers. The Hellenic Football Federation previously appointed him to referee a Greek Cup quarter-final second leg between PAOK and AEK at Toumba stadium on January 9, 2025. AEK secured progression to the semi-finals after extra time in that encounter.
For the upcoming Europa League match, Pajac will be joined by fellow Croatian assistant referees Bojan Zobenica and Ivan Mihal. Dario Bel, also from Croatia, was designated as the fourth official.
In the video assistant referee room, Croatian Ivan Bebek will operate as the VAR, with Polish official Piotr Lasyk serving as his assistant.
PAOK defender Jonjoe Kenny will miss the upcoming match against Olympiacos due to a suspension resulting from a second yellow card received against Asteras AKTOR.
Olympiacos Pireu scouts plan to evaluate Universitatea Craiova defender Vladimir Screciu at two upcoming European matches before potentially submitting a winter transfer offer.
