UEFA, the European football association, has revealed the list of referees who will officiate on the pitches at the Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, just 52 days before its commencement. It’s noteworthy that 6 referees from Slovenia will be traveling to the European Championship, although only Slavko Vinčić will serve as the main referee. It’s also worth mentioning that Vinčić, a native of Maribor, has been among the top referees globally for several years now.
Assisting Vinčić will be assistant referees Tomaž Klančnik and Andraž Kovačič, while Nejc Kajtazović has been included in the list of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) for the tournament. Additionally, Rade Obrenović and Jure Praprotnik will also have their duties in Germany; UEFA has appointed them either as fourth officials or as standby assistant referees.
“Euro 2024 is the pinnacle of European international football, featuring the best teams, so we have selected the best referees to officiate the matches. All the selected referees have consistently met the highest standards in UEFA’s top competitions and in their domestic leagues. They have prepared exceptionally well, and we have complete confidence in them to showcase their quality at the final tournament,” emphasized former Italian referee Roberto Rosetti, now UEFA’s Executive Director for Refereeing.
