UEFA Keeps Match-Fixing Ref for England vs Netherlands

Despite his past controversy, Felix Zwayer will remain the referee for the highly anticipated Euro 2024 semi-final clash between England and the Netherlands on Wednesday.

The 43-year-old German official served a six-month suspension in 2005 for accepting a bribe. This decision by UEFA to retain him has raised eyebrows amongst fans and pundits alike. 

UEFA reportedly conducted a review but ultimately opted to stand by their initial appointment. The crucial England vs Netherlands match kicks off at 8pm in Dortmund.
