Former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev told that Vera Opeikina, chief referee of the meeting of the sixth round of the group stage of the RPL FONBET Russian Cup of Lokomotiv – Rubin Cup, will have an easier time working due to the fact that she will be responsible for the video assistant referee (VAR) system in this meeting Vladislav Bezborodov .
The match between Lokomotiv and Rubin will take place on November 1 in Moscow. The full team of referees for this match is as follows: referee – Vera Opeykina, assistant referees – Denis Bereznov, Ekaterina Kurochkina, reserve referee – Mikhail Cheremnykh, VAR – Vladislav Bezborodov, AVAR – Konstantin Shalamberidze; inspector – Vyacheslav Kharlamov.
— Bezborodov will serve as support for Opeikina. It is a good practice when young and promising referees are paired with an experienced referee for VAR. This will give Vera confidence,” Nikolaev told .
In the current Russian Cup, Opeikina led the refereeing team in the match of the 4th round of the group stage of RPL Path Baltika – Krylya Sovetov (1:2). In October, for the first time in a year and a half, a team of Russian referees led by Opeikina took part in an international match, officiating the UEFA Women’s Nations League match between the national teams of Armenia and of Kazakhstan (1:2).
