Italian match official for the Gent home leg

38 year old Paolo Silvio Mazzoleni has already officiated in 76 Serie A games.

The Italian match official made his debut in the Italian first division back in 2005. He has gone on to referee in 76 Serie A matches. He joined the FIFA group of match officials in 2011, and his first international game came in the U19 match, which saw Spain beat Switzerland 2-1.

He has yet to officiate a game involving a Hungarian side, but has taken charge of a game involving Belgium side Westerlo. They lost that match 3-1 against Swiss side Young Boys. He has already been a referee in a Europa League match this season. That came in the Slaven - Portadown qualifier, which the home side won 6-0.
