The 48-year-old, who has served as an international official since 2006, is now preparing for his first major final, at least at a summer tournament. Kuipers was, however, the man with the whistle during the Europa League final in 2017/2018 when Atletico Madrid reigned supreme with a routine 3-0 victory over Marseille. That was the seventh such occasion he had been appointed to, since being added to UEFA's elite panel in 2009. England booked their place in the showpiece on home turf with a 2-1 win over Denmark last night. Harry Kane settled the scores in extra-time beneath the famous arch at Wembley - in front of 60,000 supporters - after an own goal from Simon Kjaer had restored parity, following a swerving Mikkel Damsgaard free-kick that had flown past Jordan Pickford in the first half.

Ahead of that mouth-watering occasion, Kuipers has been handed the biggest night of his career, too. You may remember him from this season's Champions League match between City and Paris Saint-Germain, where it was alleged that the Dutchman used four-letter expletives towards PSG duo Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes. It was an incident which led to an on-field confrontation with ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino. Although the Euro 2020 final marks his first appearance as a referee in such a showpiece, Kuipers has officiated at a string of international tournaments previously, dating back to Euro 2012.

Over the course of this summer's competition, the Dutchman - from Oldenzaal - refereed two group-stage matches in addition to a quarter-final showdown between Denmark and the Czech Republic. He dished out a total of 10 yellow cards in those three games combined, but hasn't had to brandish a red yet. Kuipers was also fourth official for England's group opener with World Cup semi-final opponents Croatia. He will be assisted at Wembley by compatriots Sander van Roekel and Erwin Zeinstra, while Spain's Carlos Del Cerro Grande has been chosen as the fourth official. Juan Carlos Yuste Jimenez (Spain) acts as reserve to those assistants, while the VAR team is set to be headed up by Bastian Dankert, from Germany. Let us know in the comments section below.
