UEFA changes referees for Sabah vs Aarhus return leg

UEFA has changed the officiating team for the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round second-leg match between Azerbaijan's Sabah FK and Denmark's Aarhus.

The match was initially assigned to a Portuguese refereeing team led by Joao Pinheiro. However, UEFA later revised the appointment.

French referee Willy Delajod will now take charge of the game in Baku. Erwan Finjean and Valentin Evrard will assist him, while Eric Wattellier will serve as the fourth official. Bastien Dechepy has been appointed as the VAR referee, with Nicolas Rainville acting as the assistant VAR.

The return leg will be played at Bank Respublika Arena on August 11. Aarhus won the first leg 2-1.
