Norwegian referee Terje Hauge will officiate the crucial UEFA Champions League final match of this season between the London teams "Arsenal" and "Barcelona". Assisting him will be his fellow countrymen Steinar Holvik, Ole Borgan Hermann and Tomas Henning Ovrebo.

The 40-year-old football specialist began his career as a referee at the young age of 17 and made his debut in the highest Norwegian football division after just seven years. He received his international FIFA category in 1993.

Since then, Hauge has officiated in a total of 95 international matches, including the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
