As already reported, UEFA has named the refereeing team for the Euro 2024 qualifying match between the Malta national team and the Ukrainian national team, which will take place next Tuesday, October 17, in Malta. All referees are from Denmark, and the main referee of the match will be Morten Krogh.
Morten Krogh
35-year-old Krogh has been officiating matches in Denmark’s elite division since 2012, and he became a FIFA referee in 2018.
Krog will officiate a match with the participation of the Ukrainian national team for the first time. This referee has never crossed paths with Ukrainian clubs before. At the same time, in June of this year, the Dane was the main referee of the match of the final part of the youth Euro 2023 (U-21) between the youth teams of Romania and Ukraine (0:1). In that meeting, Krogh showed five yellow cards, and in stoppage time of the second half, he sent off Vladislav Vanat, the forward of the Ukrainian team of Dynamo Kyiv, for a flagrant foul.
The last time Krogh received an appointment from UEFA was for the group stage match of the current season’s Europa League between the English Liverpool and the Belgian Union (2:0). It is interesting that in this meeting the Dane did not show a single yellow card.
In total, Krogh has 34 international matches under his belt, including only one in the qualifying rounds of the World and European Championships and the final stages of these tournaments.
Let us add that Krogh is an extremely loyal referee who allows teams to play: on average, the Dane shows less than four yellow cards per match, and removes players in every eighth game under his referee.
