Another interesting European club game nomination awaits local international basketball referee Bernard Vassallo this week.
In fact Vassallo will, on Wednesday 6th January, officiate the FIBA Europe Cup Group V game to be played in the Kithion Centre between hosts AEK and the Italian outfit Varese.
In this second phase round of 32 game, AEK, led by their star 7’1 centre Primoz Brezec, who played eight seasons in the NBA as well as a year in Rome, will try to face off Varese who, on their part, also have ex-NBA elements in the likes of Brandon Davies and Maalik Wayns and who have also reacquired veteran Kritjan Kangur last week.
The officiating crew for this week’s european club game, apart from Vassallo, will consist of Omer Esteron (Israel) and Mehdi Difallah (France).
