The 48-year-old is from the Netherlands and has been an international referee since 2006. The game will mark the first time a Dutchman has taken charge of a UEFA Euro final but it is Kuipers's seventh UEFA final, including two Europa League finals (2013 and 2018) and the 2014 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Kuipers has also officiated at two World Cups in Brazil and Russia and at Euro 2012 and 2016. The final will be the fourth game Kuipers has overseen at Euro 2020, having refereed two group stages and Denmark's 2-1 quarter-final win against the Czech Republic. The Dutchman was also the fourth official for England's 1-0 group stage win against Croatia which saw Phil Foden receive a yellow card. Kuipers was in charge when Italy beat England 2-1 during the group stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but is yet to referee either side in this tournament. However, England fans hoping for all the good omens they can get ahead of Sunday's historic game may take solace in knowing Kuipers was in charge when England won the Under-20s World Cup against Venezuela in 2017 - when current Three Lions squad member Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the winner. He has been dubbed 'the world's richest ref' and was reported to be worth around 11.5million in 2016 thanks to the Dutch supermarket chain Jumbo Kuipers he co-founded, sponsoring Formula One star Max Verstappen. He will be assisted in his team by fellow Dutchmen Sander van Roekel and Erwin Zeinstra, with Spaniard Carlos Del Cerro Grande as the fourth official and German Bastian Dankert as the video assistant referee (VAR).
