In the qualifying round of World Cup 2014, Levan Paniashvili will observe referees in the match against Azerbaijan and Portugal. Azerbaijani internet websites spread this information.

It was known that Ukrainian Vasily Melnichuk would observe referees but later, UEFA changed its decision and sent the head of referee department of GFF to Baku.

The match between Azerbaijan and Portugal will take place on the Tofiq Bahramov stadium in Baku on March 26.
