On June 28th, UEFA’s official website updated the referee information for the Euro 2020 Round of 16 match between England and Slovakia. The match will be officiated by Turkish referee Mete Kalkavan, with German official Marco Fritz serving as the VAR referee.
It is worth noting that the main referee officiated the Belgium vs Slovakia match in the group stage of this European Championship. He ruled out two goals scored by Lukaku after consulting with the assistant referee and VAR, including a marginal handball penalty in the attack. Ultimately, Slovakia won 1-0 in an upset, and Kalkavan’s officiating also caused some controversy after the match.
Furthermore, the VAR referee for this match, Marco Fritz, was the assistant VAR referee in the Belgium vs Slovakia game. The two assistant referees are also the same as in that game.
