England vs. Spain referee: Who is Francois Letexier, the man in charge of the Euro 2024 final?

The Euro 2024 final is set for July 14, pitting Spain against England in Berlin. Spain, led by Luis de la Fuente, enters the final as strong favorites after a flawless run in the competition. On the other hand, Gareth Southgate’s England had to rely on late goals, extra time, and penalty shootouts to reach this stage.

Among the notable figures in the final is referee Francois Letexier, appointed by UEFA to officiate the match.

Meet the Referee: Francois Letexier

Francois Letexier will head a team of seven officials, including fellow Frenchmen Cyril Mugnier, Mehdi Rahmouni, and Jerome Brisard. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) role will be handled by Willy Delajod and Massimiliano Irrati, with Szymon Marciniak as the fourth official.
