Serge Gumienny

Gumienny in October 2015

Serge Gumienny (born 14 April 1972, in Sint-Truiden) is a Belgian football referee. He frequently operates in the Belgian First Division, Belgian Second Division and Belgian Cup.

Occasionally he also leads a match in the Dutch Eredivisie and matches in the UEFA Intertoto Cup, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League. He also has whistled matches on invitation in foreign countries (Qatar and Saudi Arabia) and frequently operates as fourth official in the games of Frank De Bleeckere

On 25 December 2008 he got promoted to the European A-category (Elite development).

23. December 2011, it was announced that the UEFA sent down the referee, as he got two bad quotes in games he guided. The result will probably be that he will never go to a World Championship or European Championship, as he is close to the age limit of 45 years.

He already whistled 250 games in the Belgian first division.
