Fresh from officiating Real Madrid's Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, Slovenia's Slavko Vincic will be in the middle for Hungary vs Switzerland.

The 44-year-old has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2020 and also oversaw the 2022 Europa League final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers. He was previously selected for Euro 2020, where he refereed three games including Italy's quarter-final win against Belgium.

Vincic's assistant referees for today's clash will be fellow Slovenians Tomaz Klancnik and Andraz Kovacic. Fourth official Rade Obrenovic completes the all-Slovenian officiating team inside the stadium.

The 42-year-old will be assisted in the VAR room by Polish pair Bartosz Frankowski and Tomasz Kwiatkowski.
