33 year old François Letexier hails from Bédée in France and has been on the FIFA list of referees since 2017. He is clearly considered to be a rising star considering he is already an elite list referee at his young age and has 35 adult matches under his belt already. This is his first outing with either club. In terms of Irish clubs he refereed Cork City in season 17/18 in a Europa League qualifying match. He has never refereed any clubs from Hungary. In 234 games he has issued 877 yellow cards (3.7 card/game average), 29 YYR cards, 42 red cards and given 88 penalties.
