While we know who will qualify from Euro 2024's Group D and who will not ahead of Tuesday's final games, there is still plenty to play for. 

The Netherlands take on Austria knowing that if they better France's result over Poland, they will head into the last 16 as group winners and get a - in theory - more favourable opponent in the next stage. 

Austria, meanwhile, could also finish top of the pile, but they would need to beat the Netherlands and hope France drop points. With plenty on the line at Euro 2024, the officials could be set for a busy evening, so FourFourTwo takes a look at who will be in charge of the action in Berlin.

Ivan Kružliak of Slovakia will be the man in charge of this clash. Aston Villa fans will remember him as the referee who (correctly) didn't send Emi Martinez off after he was issued a second yellow card during the penalty shootout in their win over Lille in the Europa League. 

He will be joined by his two compatriots Branislav Hancko and Jan Pozor as his assistant referees, with the trio having already taken charge of Scotland's 1-1 draw with Switzerland last week at Euro 2024.

Fourth official duties will be handled by Bosnian referee Irfan Peljto, who has been FIFA-listed since 2015. 

The video assistant referee (VAR) will be German Marco Fritz, a 46-year-old who will be retiring as an official at the end of the tournament.
