A familiar face to Premier League fans, Michael Oliver will take charge of Spain vs Croatia.
The Northumbrian has refereed in the English top flight since 2010, becoming FIFA-listed in 2012 – which allowed him to oversee big international matches.
Considered one of the best officials in Europe, Oliver has previously been selected for Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
He'll be assisted in Berlin by Stuart Burt and Dan Cook, with fellow Premier League ref Anthony Taylor – who will be in the middle later in the tournament – the fourth official.

Two more Premier League referees will control things in the VAR room: Stuart Attwell is the main VAR, with David Coote and Dutchman Pol van Boekel assisting him.
Attwell and Coote regularly man VAR in the Prem, while Van Boekel has been a FIFA-listed ref since 2008.
