No Swedish Referee for European Championship Final as Olofsson Misses Out

Tess Olofsson and Almira Spahic will not get the chance to referee Sunday's European Championship final between England and Spain in Basel. Instead, the task as main referee goes to the Frenchwoman Stéphanie Frappart.

Star referee Stéphanie Frappart referees the match together with the compatriot Camille Soriano and the Italian Francesca di Monte as assistants, announced the European Football Association (Uefa) on Thursday.

Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi, Italy, becomes the fourth referee.

Swedish referee duo Tess Olofsson and Almira Spahic have refereed several matches in the European Championship. After two group matches, they refereed the quarterfinal between France and Germany, a chaotic match where they had to handle penalties, red cards and disallowed goals.

Tess Olofsson was then selected as the fourth referee for the semifinal between Germany and Spain.
