Record three-time European Championship winners Germany and Spain will face off in the first quarterfinal of Euro 2024 at the Stuttgart Arena on Friday.
Englishman Anthony Taylor will take charge of the match. In 2010, Taylor was promoted to the list of Select Group Referees who officiate primarily in the Premier League, and in 2013 became a listed referee for FIFA allowing him to referee European and international matches.
On 12 June 2021, Taylor officiated a UEFA Euro 2020 group stage match between Finland and Denmark. In the 43rd minute, Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen collapsed on the pitch and required emergency treatment on the pitch before being transferred to a local hospital and stabilised. Taylor was praised for his calm but quick reaction to the situation, signalling for medical attention within seconds.
The 45-year-old was chosen to referee the 2021 UEFA Nations League Final between Spain and France in October 2021. He was among the six English referees selected by FIFA to officiate FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
