UEFA have confirmed the 19-man list of referees for Euro 2024, calling up two Italian representatives for this summer’s tournament in Germany.
Luciano Spalletti’s Azzurri are expected to produce a strong campaign at the European Championship following their recent World Cup heartbreak, having failed to qualify for the 2022 edition in Qatar, their second successive qualification collapse.
Italy enter Euro 2024 as defending champions following their historic success back in 2021. The squad has started to evolve since then, ushering in a new era for the Azzurri following the turbulent Roberto Mancini era.
