Overview

Deniz Aytekin has been refereeing Bundesliga matches since 2008 and international matches since 2012. In 2019, he was voted "Referee of the Year" by the DFB. Players and coaches have great respect for him. No wonder: his height of 1.97 meters and his striking facial expression alone are impressive. Above all, however, Deniz Aytekin impresses with his body language and his manner on the pitch. He simply radiates a natural authority. Deniz Aytekin is also an exciting personality off the pitch - as a successful entrepreneur and amateur DJ. He deals with the stress of everyday life with electronic music and yoga.
