The match will take place on Thursday, December 19, at 21:00 (CET) in Estádio D. Afonso Henriques, Guimaraes, Portugal.
Juxhin Xhaja will serve as the main referee, with Arbër Zalla and Rejdi Avdo as his assistant referees. Albert Doda has been designated as the fourth official.
In the VAR room, German referee Robert Schröder will oversee the video assistant referee system, while Kreshnik Barjamaj, another Albanian, has been assigned as the AVAR.
This appointment follows an intense season for the Albanian referee team, which previously officiated three group-stage matches in the UEFA Europa League: Hoffenheim vs. FCSB, AZ Alkmaar vs. Elfsborg, and Elfsborg vs. Sporting Braga.
Their selection for such high-profile matches reflects their growing reputation and recognition in European football officiating.
