Zsolt Szabo will referee Saturday's game with Mezokovesd

The experienced match official was last involved in a Vidi game in the last match of last season away to Ujpest. 

Zsolt Szabo made his first division debut as a referee on the 7th September 1996. That was in a game between Vac-Pecs. He was voted official of the year in season 2001-2002. He repeated that the following season when he was chosen by the Nemzeti Sport journal. Szabo picked up the golden spectacle award, which is decided by football supporters in the same year.

Szabo has refereed two games in 2016 involving Videoton. The first was the 1-0 away win at Paks. The second was the 3-0 away win in the final game of last season at Ujpest. 

He will be assisted by Vencel Toth and Balazs Farkas for Saturday's game. The fourth official will be Georgiou Theodoros.
