Felix Brych and Jonas Eriksson to handle Intercontinental Play-Off 2nd legs

German Felix Brych and Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson have been assigned by FIFA to oversee the second legs of the World Cup Play-Offs between New Zealand and Mexico and Uruguay and Jordan respectively.

After the first leg played in Estadio Azteca that will be controlled by Viktor Kassai, it will be Germany's Felix Brych who will have the honour to take charge of the second leg in Wellington, New Zealand. He will be accompanied by Mark Borsch and Stefan Lupp as assistant referees and by Marco Fritz as fourth official. Russian Nikolay Levnikov will be the referee observer.
For the doctor in law from Munich, it will be his second play-off of his career, having handled the match between Ireland and France in Dublin in 2009.

Meanwhile, Eriksson will be assisted by Mathias Klasenius and Daniel Wärnmark on the sidelines, while Stefan Johannesson has been nominated to control the benches as fourth official. Greek Kyros Vassaras will observe and assess the referee team. The match will be kicked-off at 21 November 2013 at midnight of CET.

The first leg will be handled by Norway's Svein Oddvar Moen, so that two Scandinavians have been assigned for this high-profile and potentially intense duel. Massimo Busacca, who made this appointment, knows this stadium in Montevideo best himself: he handled Uruguay's World Cup qualification versus Costa Rica four years ago.

Kassai and Moen appointed for Intercontinental Play-Offs

Big honour for Norwegian Svein Oddvar Moen and his pre-selected World Cup team: They have been assigned to handle November's Intercontinental Play-Off between Jordan and Uruguay played in Amman. In addition, Viktor Kassai and company will take charge of the second play-off between Mexico and New Zealand.

Moen, who has been one of the youngest referees ever promoted to UEFA's highest referee category (Elite), will be accompanied by Kim Thomas Haglund and Frank Andås. Dag Vidar Hafsås completes the all-Norwegian referee quartet. French Bertrand Layec will be present at Amman International Stadium as referee observer.

He has experience with Uruguayan national teams. In 2011, he handled two matches of their U-17 squad, among others their final loss against Mexico in a full Estadio Azteca. Furthermore, Moen handled two matches at last year's Olympic Games. Currently, he is present at U-17 World Cup 2013 and has been appointed to take charge of a quarterfinal (Brazil-Mexico).

Additionally, Hungary's Viktor Kassai has been selected to take control over Mexico - New Zealand at Estadio Azteca. In a crowd of almost 100.000, he will be assisted by Gábor Erös, György Ring and István Vad. UEFA Referee Committee member Jozef Marko from Slovakia will assess their performance. 

It is the second time for Kassai to whistle a play-off tie of the "Kiwis": back in 2009, he handled their draw with Bahrain that resulted in their participation in World Cup 2010.
