Ovidiu Alin Haţegan (born 14 July 1980)[1] is a Romanian international referee.
He became a FIFA referee in 2008.[2] Haţegan has refereed at 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers[3] and UEFA Euro 2012 qualification.[4]
In 2013, then UEFA president Michel Platini ordered an internal investigation to ascertain why Ovidiu Hategan did not follow the protocol for dealing with incidents of a racist nature during a match at the Khimki Arena between Manchester City and CSKA Moscow.[5]
In 2017 he was accused of "baffling" decisions in the World Cup play-off between Northern Ireland and Switzerland, including a penalty awarded to the Swiss team.[6] Northern Ireland Football Team manager Michael O'Neill said it was the worst decision he had ever seen in a game he had been involved in. [7] Several Talksport journalists such as Jim White said the decision would lead to video refereeing in football. [8] He was subsequently omitted from a World Cup seminar in November 2017.[9]
