Eight of the top referees in Europe have been chosen to officiate the games at the 2021 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Final Four in Cologne, Germany. The list is a mix of veterans and top young referees, five of whom boast at least 14 seasons in the EuroLeague and a combined 19 Final Four appearances. Three of them are still in their 30s, including two who have been assigned to their first Final Four.
The chosen referees are Matej Boltauzer, Mehdi Difallah, Juan Carlos Garcia Gonzalez, Olegs Latisevs, Uros Nikolic, Sasa Pukl, Sreten Radovic and Gytis Vilius. The commitment and sacrifices that all of our officials have made, in what has been an exceptional season dealing with the current pandemic, has helped us get to the end of the season and another Final Four, and we are grateful to all of our officials for their dedication, Richard Stokes, Euroleague Basketball’s Senior Director of Officiating,
