The UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will be the final game in Europe’s elite club football before international football takes centre-stage, with EURO 2024 and Copa America.
Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić will officiate the Champions League final set to be played at the Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday.
It continues a good run for Slovenian referees in major European games.

Vinčić has handled five Champions League games this season without awarding a penalty kick or showing a red card. Among his games was Dortmund’s 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the quarterfinals.
All three men picked Monday are on UEFA’s team of match officials for the European Championship that starts June 14 in Germany.
