July 9 – The referee for England’s semi-final against the Netherlands at Euro 2024 once had ties to a match-fixing scandal in Germany.
Felix Zwayer was served a six-month ban for his role in a case in 2005.
Zwayer also has history with England star Jude Bellingham who received a fine of €40,000 from the German FA for his post-match comments about the same official in 2021 after his then Borussia Dortmund team lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
