Akbari and Alipour conjectured that any Latin array of order $n$ with at least $n2/2$ symbols contains a transversal, or equivalently, every proper-edge coloring of the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$ with n2/2 colours contains a rainbow perfect matching. In this talk we will present a proof of this conjecture in a stronger sense: we show that $n^{399/200}$ colours suffice. This is joint work with Peter Keevash.
