Matthias Ginter jumps in as a referee in the district league

Change of perspective for Matthias Ginter: The SC Freiburg defender helped out as a referee in the district league B on Sunday.

The 28-year-old led the game between the second teams of SC March and SV Burkheim (6:1).

The encounter took place in the Matthias-Ginter-Sportpark, which Ginter’s youth club SC March had named after the professional.

“We didn’t have a referee on Saturday and were therefore in an absolute emergency, as everyone we had asked had canceled. If we hadn’t been able to provide a referee, we would have had to cancel the game,” said sports director Marc Friedrich table football quoted. In the district league, the clubs have to organize the referees themselves.

Friedrich is a good friend of Ginter’s and was his best man at the wedding. “Matze agreed immediately,” said Friedrich.
