Foreign referees to continue officiating Super League derbies

The Stoiximan Super League will maintain its policy of employing foreign referees for high-stakes derby matches, following a decision by the Professional Football Committee not to reinstate Greek referees for these significant games. The committee's meeting on August 27 concluded without altering the current arrangement, meaning top-tier league clashes will continue to be overseen by international officials.

During the meeting of the Professional Football Committee, the decision on appointing Greek referees for League derbies was postponed. The issue will be raised again before the completion of the first round, provided the conditions are ripe.

This decision means that a proposal by Stefanos Lanois to utilize Greek referees in all league matches will be deferred. The matter is expected to be revisited after the first half of the season concludes, suggesting a potential re-evaluation of the situation under different circumstances. The league's focus remains on ensuring the integrity and perceived impartiality of its most crucial encounters.

The proposal of the SL for the introduction of a Goal Line Cameras system as soon as possible was approved, which will also operate from the Superbet Greek Cup quarterfinals.

In parallel, the league is advancing with the implementation of Goal Line Cameras. This new technology is slated for introduction as soon as possible, with the possibility of its use extending to the quarterfinals of the Superbet Greek Cup. It is important to distinguish these Goal Line Cameras, which are additional cameras placed at the goalposts, from the separate Goal Line Technology system.

Important clarification: Goal Line Cameras means additional cameras placed at the goalposts and is different from the Goal Line Technology system.
