Janos Takacs is one of the more experienced referees among the first division group of officials. He is 38-years-old, and has been refereeing games since 1998. He first began officiating first division games in 2008. Takacs made his debut in Debrecen's 6-2 win over REAC. An interesting fact was that he did not officiate in any games involving Videoton last season. The 2008-2009 season saw him take charge of two Vidi games. The first was the 2-1 home win over Diosgyor, as well as the 2-2 draw with Vasas. Vidi striker Goran Vujovics scored in both those games! He did referee Vidi's second home game of this season, which ended in a 3-0 win, thanks to goals from Alves, Elek and Vujovics. He will be assisted by Lajos Toth and Istvan Toth.
