English Referees Michael Oliver, Anthony Taylor Selected for Euro 2024

UEFA has announced that Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor will officiate at Euro 2024, with Stuart Attwell chosen as a video assistant referee (VAR). This selection comes despite Nottingham Forest recently questioning Attwell’s integrity following their defeat to Everton, where three of their penalty appeals were dismissed with Attwell as the VAR. Taylor has established himself as one of UEFA’s leading referees, having officiated at major events like Euro 2020, the Europa League final, and the Nations League final. Oliver has also had notable assignments, including the 2022 European Super Cup final and Champions League matches. Meanwhile, Roberto Rosetti, UEFA’s managing director of refereeing, praised the officials, stating they have consistently performed at the highest level. The selected officials will attend a preparatory course in Frankfurt in May, with Argentinian referee Facundo Tello set to officiate matches in a departure from tradition.
