Match officials from Norway have been selected to work at the Champions League group stage match FC Porto – Dynamo Kyiv.
The Norwegian referee Terje Hauge will take charge of Tuesday's encounter. Hauge was born in 1965 and currently lives in Bergen, Norway. He works as a referee advisor in addition to refereeing. Since he made his debut in 1990, Hauge has handled more than 200 matches in the top division and is considered one of the best Norwegian referees. He has been an authorised FIFA referee since 1993.
Hauge has refereed in the 2002 World Cup, Euro 2000 and 2004. He also took charge of the 2004 UEFA Super Cup match between FC Porto and Valencia CF. On 17 May 2006, Terje Hauge became the first Norwegian to referee in a UEFA Champions League final. He took charge of the match between Arsenal and Barcelona at the Stade de France in Paris.
The 43-year-old referee will be assisted by his compatriots Jan Petter Randen and Kim Thomas Haglund, with Kjetil Saelen, also from Norway, acting as fourth official.
Wolfgang Thierrichter from Austria and Patrick Kelly from Ireland have been appointed UEFA delegate and UEFA Referee observer, respectively.
