The Red Devils will take on France on Monday evening at 6 p.m. The ref for that match has now been announced. It concerns a youngster from Sweden who was already active at this European Championship.
The Red Devils would like to win from France if possible and thus cause a surprise in the eighth finals. They will have to do that under the guidance of a Swedish referee, as it now appears.
The appointments for the eighth finals have now been made and the Swedish referee Glenn Nyberg has been chosen for the Belgian match. He was already referee for Spain – Albania this European Championship.

He was also active as fourth referee during Belgium against Ukraine and is at 35 years old the youngest referee active at this European Championship. KRC Genk had him as referee this season against Olympiakos (a 1-0 loss).
Nyberg’s most notable moment came last season when he failed to award a penalty after Gabriel Magalhaes picked up a ball in his own penalty area in Arsenal’s Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.
All indications for the round of 16 outside the Red Devils match in a row:
Zwitserland – Italië – Szymon Marciniak (Polen)
