UEFA confirm referees Rizzoli and Eriksson for Euro 2016 semifinals

World Cup final referee Nicola Rizzoli has been appointed by UEFA to officiate the Germany vs. France semifinal on Thursday in Marseille.

The Italian referee, who took charge of Germany's title-winning victory over Argentina two years ago in Brazil, will be refereeing his fourth match at Euro 2016.

Jonas Eriksson of Sweden will take charge of Wednesday's semifinal between Portugal and Wales in Lyon.

Eriksson refereed the Europa League final in May and has had two previous games at the tournament, including Wales' 3-0 win over Russia in the group stage.
