Referee
UCL referee hails from Belarus
Belarusian referee Aleksei Kulbakov has been appointed to oversee Tuesday evening's UEFA Champions League group game between Apoel Nicosia and Borussia Dortmund. It is the first time the 37-year-old has taken charge of a match involving the Black & Yellows.
Kulbakov has been involved in refereeing since he was 16 and took charge of his first senior international match – in which Cyprus beat San Marino 3-0 during the EURO 2008 qualifying campaign – ten years ago. (br)
