Matej Jug, Nejc Kajtazović, David Šmajc and anyone else you can think of. But on the list of referees who have officiated at the eternal derbies between the Maribor and Olimpija, the name Aleksandar Matković cannot be found. But even that is about to change now, as the 34-year-old justice provider has been delegated to judge the eternal derby for the first time in his career. The latter will take place on Sunday, with the two big rivals kicking off at 15:00 in Ljudski vrt.

Aleksandar Matković got to the eternal derby, which will be only his 49th game in the Telemach First League, quite quickly. He made his debut in the latter in August 2018 in a match between Mura and Krško. He has been in action in five games this season.
Sunday’s spectacle at Calvary will also feature two assistant referees along the centre line Tomaž Klančnik from Slovenj Gradec and Grega Kordež from Raven na Koroškem, the fourth judge between the two reserve benches will be David Šmajc from Predoselj pri Kranju, and in the video room will be the main video referee Matej Jug from Tolmin (VAR) and his assistant Nejc Kajtazović from Kranj (VAR).
