Portugal v France referee: Who is Euro 2024 official Michael Oliver? | OneFootball

Michael Oliver will take charge of the quarter-final between Portugal and France at Euro 2024 tonight.

Oliver, aged 39, will lead a team that includes English officials Stuart Burt, Dan Cook and David Coote, as well as Polish official Szymon Marciniak, who refereed the 2023 Champions League final.

In 2010, Oliver became the youngest ever Premier League referee at the age of 25, and he is now among the country’s leading officials. He became a Fifa-listed referee in 2012, and has since officiated at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.

Domestically, Oliver has taken charge of several cup finals, including the FA Cup finals in both 2018 and 2021. In Europe, he has refereed in the latter stages of the Champions League, as well as in the 2022 Uefa Super Cup.

Oliver has officiated at three matches so far during Euro 2024, including Spain’s win over Croatia on matchday one. His most high-profile games so far came in the last-16 tie between Germany and Denmark, where he briefly stopped play due to a thunderstorm and awarded a controversial penalty to Germany, who went on to win the game 2-0.
