Glenn Nybergwill be the referee for the first game of Group E at the Allianz Arena in Munich, with the Swede making his international tournament bow. He was the fourth official for Olympiakos' Europa Conference League victory over Fiorentina last month, and has plenty of experience in European competition - Nyberg refereed Arsenal's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich earlier this season, for example.
He became a professional referee in 2008, at just 19-years-old, but it took him another eight years until he was a full international referee for FIFA. Since then, he has taken charge of plenty international games - including the 2023 U20 World Cup final between Uruguay and Italy.
Mahbod Beigi and Andreas Soderkvist have been selected as Nyberg's assistants.
