EFA appointed Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai for Cairo derby

Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai has been appointed to officiate at Thursday’s Cairo derby between Zamalek and Ahly in the Egyptian Premiere League, the Egyptian Football Association (EFA) announced on Tuesday.

This will not be the first time that the 41-year-old Kassai has come to Egypt, having previously refereed last season’s Cairo derby in February, when Ahly defeated Zamalek 2-0.

Kassai made headlines at the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup after becoming the first ever referee to award a penalty after viewing a video replay.
