Belgian Frank De Bleeckere has been assigned to referee the UEFA Cup semi-final return leg between Werder Bremen and Hamburg on Thursday, 7 May 2009 at 8:45 p.m. at HSH Nordbank Arena. The FIFA referee will be calling his second European cup match with Bremen playing. The first Werder game for the 42-year-old came during the 2004/05 Champions League season as Bremen lost 3-0 in the Round of 16.

 

De Bleeckere is a good fit for the northern German derby because of his knowledge of the German language and wealth of international experience. He has been a FIFA referee since 1998 and is mainly assigned to matches in the Champions League. The referee has blown the whistle in 24 national team matches, including the most recent European Championship and World Cup.

 

De Bleeckere will be supported on the sidelines by compatriots Peter Hermans and Danny Huens. And the fourth official Serge Gumienny is also Belgian.
