Referee named for first leg between FC Porto and Nottingham Forest

UEFA has announced the appointment of Italian referee Marco Guida to officiate the match between FC Porto and Nottingham Forest, the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, scheduled for Thursday at 8 pm at the Dragão stadium.

It is, in fact, an all-Italian refereeing team, with Giorgio Peretti and Giuseppe Perrotti serving as assistant referees and Matteo Marcenaro as fourth official.

Daniele Chiffi and Michael Fabbri will be in charge of VAR.

FC Porto will once again come up against an opponent they already faced in the league phase — on that occasion, they lost 0-2 away from home — but this time the English side arrive at the Dragão under the guidance of Vítor Pereira, who thus returns to FC Porto’s home.
