Austrian Fritz Stuchlik will referee the local Super Cup between Ahli and Zamalek, the Egyptian FA announced on Thursday.

Stuchlik, who officiated Spain's 1-0 friendly victory over Italy last March, has become a FIFA international referee since 1994.

He took charge of some important international matches in the early 2000s, including few UEFA Champions League encounters.

However, the 42-year-old referee hasn't been asked to referee any match in the Champions League since 2004, for unknown reasons.

European governing body UEFA then assigned him to some games in the continent's secondary competition – the UEFA Cup.

Ahli and Zamalek meet for the second time in the space of eight days.

Egyptian champions Ahli defeated arch-rivals Zamalek 2-1 in the CAF Champions League group stage opener.
