The UEFA Referees Committee, meeting in Nyon, has appointed the 12 referees to handle the 31 matches at next year’s UEFA EURO 2012 final tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
For the first time in the history of the UEFA European Championship, the referees will have added support thanks to a decision by football’s lawmakers, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), to allow the continuation of the experiment in the use of additional assistant referees. The full referee teams will be announced in due course.
