As confirmed by UEFA, via FCInterNews, Australian official Jarred Gillett will be on VAR Duty for the match.

Led by new boss Cristian Chivu, Inter Milan take on Ajax in their opening European match of the season this Wednesday.

Moreover, it will be a perfect opportunity for the Nerazzurri to bounce back from a 4-3 defeat at Juventus last weekend.

Needless to say, that’s also a chance to erase the memory of last season’s heartbreak in the Champions League final.
