Who is the referee, the video assistant referee (VAR) and who are the assistant referees for Turkey v Georgia at Euro 2024?

In the first of Tuesday's action from Germany, Vincenzo Montella's side take on major-tournament debutants Georgia in Dortmund.

With yesterday's games including Belgium v Slovakia and Austria v France marred in controversy regarding VAR decisions and added time, it will be interesting to see how today's appointments fare.

Facundo Tello will oversee the Group F clash between Turkey and Georgia. The 42-year-old hails from Argentina and has been an official since 2013.

He was first listed as a FIFA international referee back in 2019 and belongs to the Bahiense Association of Referees.

Some fans may remember Tello's name hit the headlines back in 2022, as he refereed Argentina's Champions Trophy final between Boca Juniors and Racing Club.

He brandished ten red cards (seven red cards to Boca and three to Racing) as Racing Club ran out 2-1 winners.

Gabriel Chade and Ezequiel Brailovsky have been selected as his assistants for the encounter at Signal Iduna Park.
