Istvan Vad will referee Friday evening's league match

The experienced match official will take charge of the important OTP game at the Sostoi

Friday's game will kick off at 19:00pm with Vidi looking to climb into the top three in the league, having won their first two league matches of Spring. Experienced match official Istvan Vad will take charge of the OTP league game. Vad is 34 and he took control of two league games during 2011. They were both against Kecskemet, with the first being a 2-2 draw, while the second ended in a 2-0 defeat for Vidi. 


Istvan Vad began playing football in his youth at Rakosmenti TK, moving on to Ferencvaros and then BVSC. He took his refereeing badge in 1995, and took control of youth games due to his young age. Vad made his first division debut in a match involving Sopron and Videoton in 2004. He has been a member of the FIFA group of officials since 2007, and took charge of his first international game at the age of 27. He also ended up refereeing in the Champions league in October 2010, along with Viktor Kassai, after just three and a half years as a FIFA referee.
