Kuipers will be Euro 2020 final referee

According to Fanatik, the referees have been appointed for the final stages of Euro 2020. Germany's Felix Brych will referee the Italy - Spain match in the first semi-final and Dutchman Danny Makkelie will whistle the England - Denmark match in the other semi-final. Dutchman Björn Kuipers was assigned the final. While 45-year-old Cüneyt Çakir was the strongest candidate for the final, as a result of appointments in which lobbying activities were active, UEFA appointed 48-year-old Björn Kuipers, who is in his last big tournament.
While Dutch referees will take part in both semi-final and final, Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakir and his team, who were invited to England, are returning home after the appointments were announced. Cüneyt Çakir went down in history as the referee with the most matches in the European Championship. After the 3 matches he refereed at Euro 2020, he reached a total of 9 matches, surpassing Anders Frisk and became the holder of the record.
