Spain's Carlos Velasco Carballo
will referee the opening match of Euro 2012 between co-hosts
Poland and Greece at the National Stadium on Friday, UEFA said.
Velasco Carballo, 41, was the fourth official in Munich for
last month's Champions League final between Chelsea and Bayern
Munich.
The Spaniard, who made his international refereeing debut in
2008, also officiated the 2011 Europa League final won 1-0 by
Porto against compatriots Braga.
This year's European Championship ends on July 1 with the
final in Kiev.
