Clement Turpin will take charge of the opening game of Euro 2024 between Germany and Scotland in Munich.

The experienced French referee, who took charge of the 2022 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool, is officiating at his fifth major tournament this summer.

The 42-year-old refereed two matches each at Euro 2016, 2018 World Cup and Euro 2020 and took charge of his first international major tournament knockout game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when Brazil beat South Korea.

Turpin will lead an all-French officiating crew on the pitch and in the technical area at the Allianz Arena, while an Italian assistant VAR is the only non-French referee involved in Friday night’s clash.
