Here's all you need to know about the referee, VAR and more for Denmark vs England at Euro 2024.

Artur Soares Dias of Portugal is the man in black (or probably not, as tends to be the case in international football these days).
At 44, Soares Dias is relatively young in refereeing terms, but this will be his second Euros. He oversaw England's group win against the Czech Republic three years ago.
He's already been in the middle once at Euro 2024, for the Netherlands' Group D victory over Poland.
Soares Dias' assistants for this encounter will be compatriots Paulo Soares and Pedro Ribeiro. Ukraine's Mykola Balakin is the fourth official.

As is the norm at big international finals these days, VAR is in operation for Denmark vs England, and the man in charge is another Portuguese: Tiago Martins, who was also a VAR official at the 2018 World Cup.
VAR assistance comes from Spanish pair Alejandro Hernandez and Juan Martinez Munuera.
