Videoton are back on the road on Wednesday when they travel to Szombathely for an important league match
The match official from Veszprem is 40 years old. Peter Solymosi began his career by playing at a very young age, before passing his refereeing course in 1995.
Solymosi will referee Wednesday's OTP league match with Haladas. Vidi will be looking to pick up maximum points against the Szombathely side, knowing that three points will prove vital as the red and blues try to remain in the top three. He made his debut in a youth game in the autumn of 1997, between Varpalota and Badacsonytomaj. The experienced official then quickly made his way to the senior level and third division football. Solymosi first took control of a first division game in 2002. That was in a match between MTK and Matav Sopron. He was the official in last season's 3-0 Vidi home win over Debrecen. He was also handed, perhaps the toughest fixture in Hungarian football last autumn, when he took charge of the Ujpest vs Ferencvaros derby match. He has also been appointed referee in two of Videoton's games last season. Those were the game with ZTE, and the away match at Haladas, which ended in a 2-0 win for the home side. Solymosi will be assisted by Peter Berettyan and Oscar Lemon.
