Levnikov to observe Supercup Final 2013 - Eriksson the safest bet to handle the match

Right after the play-off ties of UEFA Champions League, last season's winners of UEFA Champions League - Bayern München - and UEFA Europa League - Chelsea FC - will meet in Prague to fight for the first title of the season in the UEFA Super Cup final. The match delegates have been already designated by UEFA.


30 August 2013, 20:45 CET
Eden (Prague, Czech Republic)
FC Bayern München - Chelsea FC 
UEFA Referee Observer: Nikolay Levnikov (RUS)
UEFA Delegate: Elkhan Mammadov (AZE)
Blog Referee Observer: Dino (CRO)

Further information (kits):
Bayern players will wear their red home kit (goalkeeper: light green)
Chelsea players will wear their blue home kit (goalkeeper: white)
The referees will wear the black Adidas 2013 kit

Nikolay Levnikov is a member of the UEFA Referee Committee since spring 2013 and observed Cüneyt Çakır in his Champions League play-off in Eindhoven last week. Therefore he will surely not handle the final match. Based on the presumption that the Super Cup final referee will not be appointed for a Champions League play-off, there is only one official left who probably will be assigned to handle the final: Jonas Eriksson and his officiating team of Sweden.
