FIFA referee Szymon Marciniak stated that he could officiate the Galatasaray-Fenerbahçe derby if an agreement is reached between the Turkish Football Federation and the Polish Football Federation.
In the 25th week of the Super League, the question of whether the referee for the Galatasaray - Fenerbahçe derby will be local or foreign has become a matter of public curiosity.
One of the biggest candidates for a foreign referee in the big derby is Polish Szymon Marciniak. Considered one of the best referees in the world, Marciniak made statements to İhlas News Agency regarding the Galatasaray - Fenerbahçe match.
"I WILL REFERE WHEREVER I AM ASSIGNED"
Szymon Marciniak emphasized that no discussions have yet taken place regarding whether he will officiate in the derby, stating, "No one from the Turkish Football Federation has contacted the Polish Football Federation with this request. I don't know anything about whether I will go to this match. The football federations of Turkey and Poland need to come to an agreement. I am a referee, and I will officiate wherever I am assigned. However, there is little time left until the match. Frankly, I see the likelihood of this happening as low," he said.
