Viktor Kassai will referee the game of the season

Hungary's current best match official will take charge of Sunday's big match

Videoton come up against Debrecen, who have begun the new season in good form, on Sunday. Paulo Sousa's side travel east to take on the early season pace-setters. Hungary's current top referee is Viktor Kassai, and he took control of matches at last summer's World cup finals in South Africa. Kassai was also the man in the middle in last season's memorable 5-0 away win at Ferencvaros. However, he capped a good year by refereeing the Champions League finals, which was the peak of his career so far. 

Viktor Kassai was born in Tatabanya, and went on to take his refereeing badge in 1990. He joined the list of match officials in 1999, and has been refereeing ganes since 2003. He has also refereed the Argentina v Nigeria Olympic games finals in Beijing, as well as the Spain v Germany World cup match in South Africa.
