Champions League: UEFA bans two referees until June 2025

UEFA have banned Bartosz Frankowski and Tomasz Musial from refereeing, for bringing the game into disrepute.

The two Polish officials went on a drunken bender before a Champions League match between Rangers and Dynamo Kyev in Poland in August.

UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has now suspended both Frankowski and Musial from refereeing until June 30.

After Frankowski and Musial were arrested for trying to steal a road sign in the early hours of the morning, UEFA had to appoint Tomasz Kwiatkowski and Pawel Malec as replacements to work on VAR for the match.

Frankowski is regarded as one of Poland’s top officials, having refereed at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024, where he was a VAR.

Both he and Musial have also officiated in Poland’s Ekstraklasa and the Champions League.
