Anthony Taylor to Referee Spain vs Germany in Euro 2024 Quarterfinal

The experienced English referee will lead a team of officials

Slovenia's Ivan Kruzliak will serve as the VAR

Experienced English referee Anthony Taylor will take charge of Spain vs Germany in the Euro 2024 quarterfinal today. Taylor, 45, will lead a team that includes assistant referees Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn, as well as fourth official Istvan Kovacs of Romania.

Slovenia's Ivan Kruzliak will serve as the video assistant referee (VAR), while Bartosz Frankowski of Poland will be the assistant VAR. The match will be played at the Stuttgart Arena in Stuttgart, Germany, and is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. CEST.

Spain and Germany are two of the most successful teams in European Championship history, with Spain having won the tournament three times and Germany having won it twice. This will be the first time that the two teams have met in the knockout stages of the European Championship since the 2010 semifinals, which Spain won 1-0.

The match is expected to be a close one, and Taylor will be hoping to have a good game in charge. The English referee has been criticized for his performance in some high-profile matches in the past, but he will be keen to prove that he is one of the best in the world.
