Daniel Siebert to be VAR, with Christian Dingert as fourth official
German referee Felix Zwayer has been appointed to officiate England's Euro 2024 semi-final against the Netherlands in Dortmund.
Zwayer will be assisted by fellow Germans Daniel Siebert (VAR) and Christian Dingert (fourth official).
The appointment of Zwayer is likely to be controversial, given his past involvement in a match-fixing scandal.
In 2005, Zwayer was banned from officiating for six months after he was found to have accepted a bribe from a betting syndicate.
Despite his past, Zwayer has since returned to officiating and has been appointed to referee several high-profile matches, including the 2019 UEFA Champions League final.
It remains to be seen whether Zwayer's past will have any impact on his performance in the England vs Netherlands semi-final.
