Peter Solymosi will referee Saturday's league match

The experienced match official will take control of the game at the Sostoi stadium.

Peter Solymosi will referee Saturday's OTP league match with Puskas Academy. The match official from Veszprem is 41 years old. He began his career by playing at a very young age, before passing his refereeing course in 1995. He made his debut in a youth game in the autumn of 1997, between Varpalota and Badacsonytomaj. The experienced official then quickly made his way to the senior level and third division football. Solymosi first took control of a first division game in 2002. That was in a match between MTK and Matav Sopron. He was the official in last season's 3-0 Vidi home win over Debrecen.

He was also handed, perhaps the toughest fixture in Hungarian football last autumn, when he took charge of the Ujpest vs Ferencvaros derby match. He has also been appointed referee in two of Videoton's games last season. Those were the game with ZTE, and the away match at Haladas, which ended in a 2-0 win for the home side. He was most recently the referee for the 4-1 home win over Paks. He was most recently in charge of the 1-0 win over Kecskemet. Solymosi will be assisted by Oszkar Lemon and Robert Horvath. The other officials will be Gabor Olah and Eszter Urban with the fourth official being Gabor Takacs.
