Romantic footballer gets down on one knee and proposes to stunning lineswoman

Official Petra Lepackova described the special moment as the “best day of my life”

THIS is the heartwarming moment a Slovak footballer proposes to an assistant referee seconds before kick off.

Fifth tier side FK Nizna’s players shake hands with the opposition before the match begins.

But nobody could have expected for Nizna’s Vajecka Lubomir to surpass the formalities and ask the official to MARRY him.

The defender gets down on one knee and begs for Petra Lepackova’s hand in marriage as both teams wait to begin the game.

Lepackova says yes to Lubomir in front of over 400 spectators.

She later posted a picture of the special moment on Instagram, captioned: “The best day of my life”

Users online were quick to offer their congratulations to the couple.

People from Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Germany and Indonesia wished Lubomir and Lepackova well together.

In April last year, 23-year-old Russian international Ivan Novoseltsev proposed to his long-term girlfriend after helping his side win their fourth game in a row.

The FC Rostov defender asked professional basketball girlfriend Katerina Keyru to join him on the pitch before then asking her to marry him.
