The 39-year-old English referee has already refereed the national team on several occasions, including the quarter-final of the last European Championships against Switzerland in St. Petersburg, where Spain won on penalties.

Born in the British town of Ashington and a UEFA Elite referee since 2018, Oliver will be assisted on the sidelines by compatriots Lee Betts and James Mainwaring, with England's Jarred Gillett also acting as fourth official.
