2013 UEFA Under-21 EURO Play-Offs - Referee Appointments

Robert Madden (SCO) (C) MotherwellFC

The 2013 UEFA European Under-21 EURO will run from 5 to 18 June in Israel. The UEFA Executive Committee selected the hosts on 27 January 2011 – Bulgaria, Czech Republic, England and Wales had placed their bid as well – and it will be Israel's first final tournament since the 2000 UEFA European U16 Championship.

After the play-off draws at Nyon in September 2012, the seven missing teams will emerge in fourteen matches to be played on 11/12 and 15/16 October.

In the next days, UEFA will appoint fourteen referees; three of them will be observed by UEFA referee committee members Marc Batta, Jaap Uilenberg and Kyros Vassaras.
