The match is scheduled for July 14 at the Georgi Asparuhov Stadium. Çakır, who became an international referee last year, will be assisted by fellow Turkish officials on the sidelines and a fourth referee. He previously officiated matches in the Conference League qualifiers and the U19 Champions League. This will be his first Champions League match as head referee. The first match between the two teams is yet to be officially assigned, along with five other encounters in this stage of the tournament.
