Nicola Rizzoli has been appointed to
referee Saturday's 2013 UEFA Champions League final at Wembley between Borussia
Dortmund and FC Bayern München.
The 41 year-old
Italian will be assisted by Renato Faverani and Andrea Stefani. The fourth
official will be Damir Skomina from Slovenia and the two additional assistant
referees, Gianluca Rocchi and Paolo Tagliavento, also from Italy. An Italian
reserve assistant referee – Gianluca Cariolato – completes the refereeing team
lineup.
Rizzoli who has
been an international referee since 2007, was selected by the UEFA Referees
Committee to oversee Saturday's match at Wembley.
He took charge
of the inaugural UEFA Europa League final in 2010 in Hamburg, where Club
Atlético de Madrid beat Fulham FC 2-1 in extra time, and also officiated at
three matches during UEFA EURO 2012. In total, Rizzoli has presided over 26
UEFA Champions League games, four of them this season, including the round of
16 second leg between Málaga CF and FC Porto.
24th
May, 2013.
