Euro 2020 England - Can England Win Euro 2021?

  • England are one of the Euro 2020 betting favourites with 888sport

  • All three of England’s Euro 2020 group matches will take place at Wembley

  • Can Gareth Southgate lead England to victory at Euro 2020?

England have been Euro 2020 football betting favourites for the best part of two years now and expectation is growing amongst Three Lions supporters.

The entire nation will be getting behind Gareth Southgate and his players for this summer’s competition – with Euro 2021 now taking place one year after originally planned.

England’s route to the final is set. Can the Three Lions end 55 years of hurt by clinching a first major trophy since 1966? Only time will tell…

According to the latest Euro 2020 odds, England are 5/1 to win the tournament and Three Lions fans will be hoping that Southgate’s men can build on their 2018 World Cup.

Without further ado, it is time to take a closer look at our guide to England at Euro 2020, starting with the official England squad for the competition.

England Euro 2021 Squad:

Gareth Southgate is expected to announce the England Euro 2020 squad on May 24th, with the official UEFA squad deadline 10 days before the tournament begins on June 1st.

In a break from tradition, UEFA are allowing teams to pick an extended 26-man squad for the competition and Southgate is likely to select 26 players to make his England Euro 2021 squad.

Come back here for the full England squad for Euro 2020 once Southgate has confirmed his squad for the competition.

England Euro 2020 Group:

England were automatically placed into Group D as one of the qualifying host nations and the Three Lions are clear favourites to top the group.

The Euro 2021 draw pitted Croatia, Czech Republic and Scotland alongside England in Group D and Southgate’s men won’t be taking anything for granted.

England fans will recall the devastating loss to Croatia at Euro 2016 while the Czech Republic toppled the Three Lions in the Euro 2020 qualifying stages in October 2019.

England Euro 2020 Warm Up Games

With Manchester City and Chelsea involved in the Champions League final and Manchester United in the Europa League final, the England Euro 2020 warm up games are going to be something of a damp squib.

At least 11 national team players are likely to miss out due to their club commitments but England fans needn’t worry – most of these are likely to feature in the official England Euro 2020 squad.

While it is hardly ideal for England’s preparations, the Euro 2021 warm up matches are not the be all and end all. If nothing else, we at least know that every player involved at club level will be fighting fit.

England have two Euro 2020 warm up fixtures planned ahead of this summer’s competition, with both matches taking place at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium. You can find the Euro 2021 warm up games results below:

  • June 2nd: England 1-0 Austria

  • June 6th: England 1-0 Romania

England Euro 2021 Fixtures:

So, we know England will face Croatia, Czech Republic and Scotland at Euro 2020 but when will those matches take place?

For those making football prediction picks on England Euro 2021 matches, you can find the full schedule of group matches here:

  • June 13th: England vs Croatia – Wembley Stadium, London

  • June 18th: England vs Scotland – Wembley Stadium, London

  • June 22nd: England vs Czech Republic – Wembley Stadium, London

England Euro 2020 Results:

As the Euro 2020 groups get underway, you can find every England Euro 2021 result here at 888sport.

How far will England go this summer? Only time will tell. The Three Lions have been touted as potential Euro 2020 outright winners but let’s try and take it one game at a time…

  • June 13th: England 1-0 Croatia

  • June 18th: England 0-0 Scotland

  • June 22nd: England vs Czech Republic

England Euro 2020 Kit:

England revealed their home and away kits for Euro 2020 back in September – just a couple of weeks before the Nations League meetings with Iceland and Denmark.

As per tradition, the home shirt follows the usual white with a dark blue neck and stripes down the side, with a Three Lions graphic embossed on the jersey.

The away jersey is blue, with clear inspiration from memorable England jerseys of the past. The shirt features an all-over graphic with the Three Lions catching the eye.

While the kits were released before the Nations League matches, England confirmed that the jerseys will be worn by England at Euro 2021.

Football fans following the Euro 2020 TV schedule to a tee will see the England Euro 2021 kit on a regular basis throughout the tournament. Hopefully it’ll be on show in the final!

England Euro 2021 Tickets:

As of April 8th 2021, the Football Association has told UEFA that there will be 22,500 fans at Wembley for all three of England’s Euro 2020 group stage fixtures.

That equates to 25% of Wembley’s maximum capacity but The Times report that officials are hopeful that 45,000 fans could attend knockout stage matches.

England fans will be keeping a close eye on Euro 2020 Wembley ticket news in the build-up to June’s competition.

England Euro 2020 Route To Final:

This is where the tournament really starts to heat up. In terms of a last-16 opponent, it is likely to be beneficial for England to finish second in Group D.

That is because the Group D winner is slated to face one of Portugal, Germany, France or Hungary in the last-16 round at Euro 2021.

Finishing second in the group will pit England against the runner up from Group E, meaning the Three Lions would face either Spain, Sweden, Poland or Slovakia.

England could still qualify for the last-16 if they finished third in the group but permutations become tricky and they’d be banking on finishing as one of the four best third-placed teams.

If England win Group D:

  • Last-16: vs Group F runners up (Portugal, France, Germany or Hungary) at Wembley

  • Quarter-final: vs Group E winner (Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia) OR 3rd in Group A/B/C/D in Rome

  • Semi-final: July 6th or 7th at Wembley

  • Final: July 11th at Wembley

If England finish second in Group D:

  • Last-16: vs Group E runners up (Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia) in Copenhagen

  • Quarter-final: vs Group F winner (Portugal, France, Germany, Hungary) OR 3rd in Group A/B/C in St Petersburg

  • Semi-final: July 6th or 7th at Wembley

  • Final: July 11th at Wembley

If England finish as one of the four best third-place teams:

England’s route to the Euro 2021 final would be tricky this way. Gareth Southgate’s side would face one of:

Last-16: vs Group C winners (Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia) in Budapest

Last-16: vs Group B winners (Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia) in Seville

Last-16: vs Group E winners (Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia) in Glasgow

Quarter-final: IF England beat Group C winners, will face Group A runner up (Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland) OR Group B runner up (Denmark, Finland, Belgium, Russia) in Baku

Quarter-final: IF England beat Group B winners, will face Group A winner (Turkey, Italy, Wales, Switzerland) OR Group C runner up (Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia) in Munich

Quarter-final: IF England beat Group E winners, will face Group D winner (Scotland, Croatia, Czech Republic) OR Group F runner up (Portugal, France, Germany, Hungary) in Rome

Semi-final: July 6th or 7th at Wembley

Final: July 11th at Wembley

Euro 2021 Group Predictions | Euro 2020 Groups Prediction

  • The countdown to the Euro 2020 group stages is well and truly on!

  • Euro 2020 will see 24 international teams compete in the tournament for the first time

  • 888sport is one of the best places for betting on Euro 2021 groups

With the current domestic season edging to a close, the countdown to Euro 2021 is on. Fans from all over the world will be tuning in to watch one of football’s biggest international tournaments.

Euro 2020 odds have been available with most bookmakers for a while now but the onus on Euro 2020 groups betting has picked up in recent months.

Euro 2021 Group Predictions:

We know the 24 teams who will be competing at this summer’s tournament and the stage is set for an incredible month of football at Euro 2021.

With matches taking place at 11 host cities across the continent, a total of 18 Euro 2020 referees officiating and extended 26-man squads, Euro 2021 will be the biggest yet.

Without further ado, it’s time to dive into the Euro 2020 groups – with betting tips on outright group winners, teams to qualify and other Euros group stage markets.

Euro 2020 Groups:

The competition is made up of 24 nations split equally across six groups. The top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout stages, with the four best third-placed teams also advancing to the last-16 stage.

For those looking to make their expert correct score prediction tips on group fixtures, Euro 2021 could be one of the most challenging tournaments yet. Here is a quick rundown of the Euro 2020 groups:

  • Group A – Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Wales

  • Group B – Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Finland

  • Group C – Netherlands, Ukraine, Austria, North Macedonia

  • Group D – England, Croatia, Czech Republic, Scotland

  • Group E – Spain, Poland, Sweden, Slovakia

  • Group F – Germany, France, Portugal, Hungary

Euro 2020 Group Stage Format:

UEFA decided to tweak the Euro 2020 format to create a tournament with host cities rather than a host nation and that has contributed to host nations automatically being placed in specific groups.

The competition format will become clearer as viewers watch the Euro 2020 TV schedule and get into the tournament. Essentially, these groups are to ensure that host cities play all their Euro 2021 group stage matches at home – and these are the following hosts:

  • Group A: Italy (Stadio Olimpico, Rome)

  • Group B: Russia (Saint Petersburg Stadium, Saint Petersburg) and Denmark (Parken Stadium, Copenhagen)*

  • Group C: Netherlands (Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam)

  • Group D: England (Wembley Stadium, London) and Scotland (Hampden Park, Glasgow)*

  • Group E: Spain (Estadio de La Cartuja, Seville)

  • Group F: Germany (Allianz Arena, Munich) and Hungary (Puskas Arena, Budapest)*

*With two host nations in Euro 2020 Group B, Euro 2020 Group D and Euro 2020 Group F, UEFA used qualification to determine which of the two cities hosted more matches.

England will have three ‘home’ group stage matches at Euro 2021 – as will Denmark in Group B and Germany in Group C.

Euro 2020 Groups Betting Tips:

Now, we give our best football prediction tips on each Euro 2020 group ahead of June’s curtain raiser at the Stadio Olimpico.

Who will be crowned European champions come mid-July? Only time will tell. England fans will be hoping that the Three Lions are their bet of the day for the Euro 2021 final…

Euro 2021 Group A Predictions:

Italy have been resurgent under Roberto Mancini and the Azzurri will be difficult to beat on home soil.

Switzerland and Turkey are both capable of claiming major scalps and Italy won’t be taking either side for granted ahead of the Euro 2020 Group A opening match on June 11th.

And with Gareth Bale getting back to his brilliant best, it would be foolish to write Wales off just yet. After all, we all remember what happened at Euro 2016…

Having said that, Italy have found a new gear in recent years and Mancini will have his side primed to challenge for another European Championship crown.

Euro 2021 Group Predictions - Group A: Italy to win the group

Euro 2021 Group B Predictions:

Belgium were once touted as world beaters but their Golden Generation have fallen short on the biggest stage in recent tournaments.

Meanwhile, Denmark are a force to be reckoned with. England fans will remember their win at Wembley last year and the Danes also clinched a 4-0 victory over Austria back in March.

Russia are hit and miss at the best of times and Finland could be without Norwich City star Teemu Pukki, which will significantly hinder their chances of a Euro 2021 shock.

Belgium have the quality but Denmark are no mugs and home advantage in that clash with Belgium could swing the destiny of Group B towards the Danes.

Euro 2021 Group Predictions - Group B: Denmark to win the group

Euro 2021 Group C Predictions:

This looks like a walkover for the Netherlands. Frank de Boer failed at Crystal Palace but he has transformed Holland into potential Euro 2020 outright winners.

Ukraine and Austria are solid enough outfits without being spectacular. Both teams deserve their place at the tournament but neither are likely to challenge beyond the last-16 stage.

Meanwhile, North Macedonia will compete at their first European Championship and this may be something of a learning curve for the Euro 2021 Group C minnows.

Netherlands fans will be expecting big things this summer and a perfect group stage record awaits. Back Holland to win all three group games at Euro 2020.

Euro 2021 Group Predictions - Group D: Netherlands to win all three group games

Euro 2021 Group D Predictions:

Could this finally be England’s time to win a first major tournament since 1966? Optimism is high but a lot will come down to Gareth Southgate’s squad selection.

A rematch of that painful 2018 World Cup semi-final clash with Croatia awaits in the group stages while the Czech Republic are also a tough nut to crack.

However, it is Scotland who – playing at the Euros for the first time since 1996 – would love nothing more than to be the thorn in England’s side at Euro 2021.

England are clear of their rivals on paper and the Three Lions will feature frequently in Euro 2020 predictions throughout the group stages and (hopefully) later in the tournament.

Euro 2021 Group Predictions - Group D: England to win the group

Euro 2021 Group E Predictions:

Spain play some fantastic football but they can be found wanting in the final third, especially if they opt for the ‘false nine’ system.

Poland gave England a game at Wembley this year and that was without star striker Robert Lewandowski. Meanwhile, Sweden are built on defensive stability and can be tough to break down.

Slovakia and England played out a boring goalless draw at Euro 2016 but the minnows have regressed since that tournament. They are rank outsiders to finish top of Group E.

This looks a straight toss-up between Spain and Poland. This could easily come down to goal difference and Lewandowski’s prowess could be key…

Euro 2021 Group Predictions - Group E: Poland to win the group

Euro 2021 Group F Predictions:

Finally, we have Group F – the Group of Death. With Germany, France and Portugal in Group F, neutrals will be keeping a close eye on each group stage fixture.

In Germany, we have a world class squad with a proven manager. In France, we have the current World Cup winners. In Portugal, we have the current European Championship winners.

Poor Hungary. Unfortunately, the European minnows are likely to find their Euro 2020 rivals too hot to handle and three defeats could be on the cards.

Germany have climbed out of their slump but France are arguably the most complete team in the tournament and 6/4 for Les Bleus to top Group F is a price.

How To Watch Euro 2021 Online:

Football fans in the UK will be gorging on the Euros. ITV and BBC have rights to the tournament, meaning no subscription is required to follow the matches. If access to a TV is tricky, though, there are plenty of ways to watch Euro 2020 online.

Streaming the Euros is easy with ITV Player, iPlayer or on the BBC Sport website. Both companies require you to create an account, but unlike Sky Go or BT, there’s no need to cough up for a weekly or monthly payment.

It’s straightforward to keep up with the latest Euros action on the move. When it comes to the final round of group matches, some fans will be heading to Euro 2021 streams to double-screen as both matches are kicking off at the same time.

Watch Euro 2020 Around The World:

The excitement for Euro 2020 is not just limited to Europe. UEFA have official broadcast partners across the planet, including CCTV and Super Sports in China.

Sony is the official partner in India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Across the Atlantic, ESPN and Univision are the lead broadcasters in the United States, while Bell Media and TVA have the rights in Canada.

Sky Italia and RAI share the broadcast responsibility in Italy. Mediaset takes it on in Spain, while M6 and TF1 are showing the matches as France look to follow up their World Cup triumph.

Listen To Euro 2020 On Radio:

Back in 2015, TalkSport secured the rights for Euro 2016 and Euro 2020. TalkSport has previously broadcasted multiple major tournaments, and it will be the platform of choice for many when summer 2021 rolls around.

TalkSport is available online or through an app, too. Already one of the most popular radio stations in the country, they are bound to have millions tuning in throughout the tournament.

In other Euro 2021 radio news, it was announced in April that Chris Kamara will be joining Absolute Radio on the breakfast and drivetime programmes.

MamaHD Stream | Mama HD Live | MamaHD Not Working

  • One of the biggest sports streaming sites on the internet, MamaHD is especially popular in the United Kingdom and United States

  • The MamaHD boxing channel sees a lot of traffic, though the main Mama HD site attracts over five million visitors every month

  • Users looking for free live sports streams often visit MamaHD before the other online sports streaming platforms

Being a football fan is an emotional journey. From the highs of winning titles to the lows of relegation, football fans simply cannot stand missing any of the action.

However, life gets in the way sometimes and supporters may not be able to attend live sport in the flesh, especially in today’s modern world.

Mama HD Free Stream:

MamaHD is one of the most visited free sports streaming platforms around, particularly with football betting punters in the UK and over in the USA.

While we would never support watching free football streams online, they are often the only way for soccer fans in some areas of the world to follow the beautiful game.

In addition, some fixtures are not selected for broadcast on television and so fans often opt for a live streaming site, such as Mama HD or Cricfree, to get their football fix.

What Is MamaHD?

Primarily known for its live football streams service, MamaHD is a sports streaming website that brings live sport to your screen.

The Mama HD platform has a clear and concise schedule of live sports events while offering a comprehensive schedule of online streams and highlights on major sports fixtures.

MamaHD are renowned for their free football streaming coverage but users can find a wide range of sports, including but not limited to NFL, MamaHD UFC, WWE and Formula 1.

With over five million viewers to Mama HD each month, it is incredibly popular with football supporters around the world, but especially in the United Kingdom and United States.

Compared to MamaHD alternatives, such as Sportlemon and Rojadirecta, the site is widely regarded as one of the leaders when it comes to providing reliable free sports streams on the internet.

In addition, the Mama HD chat allows streamers to discuss football prediction tips with fellow soccer lovers, enhancing the knowledge of millions of fans from all walks of life.

MamaHD Streaming

In comparison to other free sports streaming sites, MamaHD is reliable and the platform gives fans the opportunity to watch high-definition football streams online.

Packed with content and an attractive user interface, Mama HD have ticked a lot of boxes for users who want to watch football online for free.

The service still falls short of official broadcasters though and that is obviously worth noting when watching football streams online – we always recommend using an official channel.

However, MamaHD can cater to a wide audience, with numerous sports streams on the platform that will appeal to any sports fan.

The MamaHD UFC channel is one of the fastest growing sports streaming pages on the site and the content variation gives Mama HD the edge over competitors such as Rojadirecta and Myp2p.

MamaHD Sport

Unlike many other free sports streaming sites, MamaHD focuses on sports coverage and each live stream has a detailed description surrounding the event.

This is one of the main reasons why Mama HD is popular with casual sport fans, with the chance to learn more about a particular sport while watching an online sports stream.

If a user enjoys watching MamaHD boxing and learns more while watching a fight, chances are they will watch more boxing in the future via an official broadcaster.

As is the case with Hesgoal and Jokerlivestream, MamaHD streams are not perfect and we would always recommend an official live stream for the best user experience.

If you want to watch MamaHD streams, it is at your own risk and what you lose in picture quality and stable connectivity, it almost isn’t worth watching sports online for free.

Mama HD APK

The advancements in technology have allowed fans to follow sport on a smartphone, with expert correct score prediction punters keeping up with results and goal updates every weekend.

MamaHD is tailored specifically for desktop but there is a Mama Sports app that offers users the chance to watch sport online on a mobile device.

However, users have complained about several issues relating to MamaHD APK mobile streams and fans claim that the platform falls short compared to rival free sports streaming sites.

MamaHD UFC

With the exception of MamaHD football, MamaHD UFC is one of the most accessed pages on the MamaHD streaming site.

UFC is popular on most free sports streaming sites and that is no different at Mama HD, with millions of fans tuning in from around the world to watch the biggest UFC fights.

If you are a casual UFC fan, MamaHD UFC channel offers you plenty of pre-fight information that you can use when placing a UFC bet of the day on the main event.

Live sport on TV can be expensive and MamaHD UFC can at least give you the edge when placing a bet on UFC before tuning into a legitimate UFC pay-per-view stream.

Even the best Pirlo TV or MamaHD UFC stream has nothing on the exhilarating nature of watching an official UFC live stream and that is worth bearing in mind ahead of the next big bout.

MamaHD Alternatives

There are a plethora of Mama HD alternatives out there, with the likes of VIPLeague and Arenavision offering live streams on most of the major sports events - meaning you can follow Euro 2021 predictions throughout each match.

While MamaHD claim that they are one of the best and most reliable streaming platforms on the internet, not every fan wanting to watch sport for free likes the service.

MamaHD used to provide several links for live events on a particular day but now users are redirected to a third-party stream website called JokerHD.

In order to view sports streams, users are required to register for the Jokerstream website but many users have reported negative experiences on this specific streaming site.

Watching a live football stream for free on these sites should be a last resort and we always state that users should watch sport via the official broadcasting channels.

Euro 2021 Referees | Referees For Euro 2020 | Euro 2020 Final Referee

  • The best officials in Europe are in action at Euro 2020

  • Björn Kuipers has been confirmed as the referee for the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy

  • Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver will represent the Premier League at Euro 2021

While surveying the Euro 2020 odds, bettors might not have referees on their mind. In some cases, though, it is important to take into account the officiating. Referees can have a decisive impact in tournament football.

VAR or not, refereeing decisions will be under the microscope at Euro 2020 this summer.

There will be sports betting not only on match and tournament winners, but on cards handed out, on penalties won and scored, and on unique props like red cards throughout the competition.

Euro 2021 Referees:

Referees are never under more pressure than under the intense scrutiny of knockout football.

Picking the right referees for this tournament is important. For bettors, it’s crucial to know the tendencies of a referee. It’s been a long wait for Euro 2020 – players and fans alike will hope the officiating is fair and preserves a level playing field.

Just as players are facing scrutiny and spotlight this summer, so are these referees. Here’s a run down how referees are selected, who will be refereeing at Euro 2020 and some other major storylines.

Who Is The Referee For Euro 2020 Final?

Björn Kuipers will take charge of the Euro 2021 final between England and Italy at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 11th July 2021.

The Dutch official has refereed six UEFA finals throughout his career and is one of the most celebrated referees in European football.

Felix Brych and Danny Makkelie were awarded the two semi-finals, with Brych officiating Spain vs Italy and Makkelie appointed for England vs Denmark.

Euro 2020 Referees

The announcement of the Euro 2020 referees was originally expected in March 2021. With a hectic club football schedule, however, there was a slight delay, with the list only being released in April.

Here are the 18 referees who will be used at Euro 2020, featuring several familiar names to followers of the Champions League…

  • Felix Brych (Germany)

  • Cüneyt Çakır (Turkey)

  • Carlos Del Cerro Grande (Spain)

  • Andreas Ekberg (Sweden)

  • Orel Grinfeeld (Israel)

  • Ovidiu Alin Hategan (Romania)

  • Sergei Karasev (Russia)

  • Istvan Kovacs (Romania)

  • Bjorn Kuipers (Netherlands)

  • Danny Makkelie (Netherlands)

  • Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz (Spain)

  • Michael Oliver (England)

  • Daniele Orsato (Italy)

  • Artur Manuel Ribeiro Soares Dias (Portugal)

  • Daniel Siebert (Germany)

  • Anthony Taylor (England)

  • Clément Turpin (France)

  • Slavko Vinčić (Slovenia)

How Were Euro 2021 Referees Selected?

As you might expect, it’s not straight forward becoming a tournament referee.

They are the centre of every football prediction for a month, a pressure unrivalled outside of World Cup action. To earn the honour of officiating at the 2020 Euros, referees must have previous international tournament experience.

It is also crucial to have performed in the Champions League and Europa League, and as one would assume, it’s important they have a good, consistent record of high-quality officiating.

Previous experience working with video technology is unsurprisingly important, given the glaring eyes that will be on VAR throughout the Euros. Being fluent in multiple languages is a boost, but having good English is a must.

Chairman of the UEFA Referees Committee Roberto Rossetti stressed the importance of referees being able to clearly explain decisions and control players throughout the tournament.

Speaking earlier this year, Rossetti said, “Take strong action in cases of mass confrontation between players on the field, as well as when you are being mobbed by players.”

VAR Euro 2020

Video assistant referees have never been used at the Euros previously. That will change at Euro 2020 (being played in 2021), with video assistants in action for every single match. A unique VAR will work with each of the 18 referees.

This results in teams of four working together throughout the tournament with the match referee, an assistant, fourth official and the VAR.

How VAR has been used has been a point of controversy, particularly in the Premier League. Rossetti has been positive about the system in the past, though the reality of VAR has rarely lived up to the theory.

Consistency of VAR use will be the key throughout the tournament. It will be interesting to see how referees apply handball and how strict they are about contact at corners after so many VAR penalties were given at the 2018 World Cup.

Stephanie Frappart

Stephanie Frappart will become the first female official to be involved in a men's European Championship.

Although not named among the 18 referees to take charge of the 51 matches at the tournament, Frappart will still have a role to play. She will either be a fourth official or a reserve assistant referee throughout the tournament.

Frappart has become the first female to referee in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. The Frenchwoman continues to break new ground across Europe, setting an example for female referees around the world.

Rebecca Welch is following in Frappart’s footsteps, having become the first female referee in English Football League history in April.

Premier League Referees At Euro 2020

Those who frequent the Premier League football betting pages will be familiar with Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor, the two English referees at Euro 2020.

No country can have more than two referees at the Euros. The Premier League has previously maxed out its allocation for major tournaments, but that isn’t a foregone conclusion.

There had been considerable speculation about whether Oliver and Taylor would meet the criteria.

Having both officiated over countless big matches, though, the two got the nod for Euro 2021. Oliver will also oversee the 2021 FA Cup final between Leicester and Chelsea on April 15th.

As recently as September 2020, Taylor refereed the UEFA Super Cup, and in 2018 he was appointed referee for the 2018 Championship playoff final.

Euro 2021 Referee Coin

A special coin will be used by the referee of the Euro 2020 final. UEFA are selling the ‘official referee coin’ in a protective case. Only 5,000 of these coins are available, and they are sure to be snapped up quickly by collectors.

It costs £36 as of May 4th 2021. Which two captains will be guessing the flip of the coin on July 11th?
