UEFA has announced that Felix Zwayer will referee the Netherlands – England, the second semi-final of Euro 2024. The German center will be assisted in the two touches by his compatriots, Stefan Lupp and Marco Achmuller. The fourth official for the match in Dortmund will be another German, Daniel Siebert.
Romanians launched petitions against Zwayer
In the batsmen’s game against Romania, Felix Zwayer did not sanction the hard play of the Dutch, so their criminal entries at the start of the match “cut” our players. Then, at 1-0 for the opponents, the German mistakenly stopped a dangerous counterattack by the tricolors, immediately after that the Oranje national team broke away to 2-0.
The Romanian fans protested his way of leading the match, one day after the elimination from Euro 2024, making several petitions by which they asked for the replay of the meeting with the Netherlands, as well as the exclusion of the central defender from the body of referees from the World Championship.
