This was announced on the UEFA website.

It is worth noting that Ukrainian referees have officiated in Champions League group-stage matches twice before.

On September 16, 1998, Vasyl Melnychuk from Simferopol was the main referee in the match in Bilbao between Spanish Athletic and Norwegian Rosenborg.

Most recently, on November 29, 2023, a Ukrainian referee team consisting of Mykola Balakin (main referee), Oleksandr Berkut, Dmytro Zaporizhenko (assistant referees), and Yaroslav Kozyr (fourth official) officiated the game between Real Sociedad (Spain) and Salzburg (Austria).
