UEFA confirm French referee Stephanie Frappart will officiate Euro 2025 final between England and Spain

In this edition of the competition, Frappart was tasked with officiating two group stage encounters and the high-stakes quarter-final clash between Norway and Italy, which ended 2-1 in favour of the Italians. Her command of high-pressure situations and consistent excellence has earned her the trust of European football's governing body.

England’s road to the final has been anything but straightforward. In the quarter-finals, they scraped past Sweden in a dramatic penalty shootout. Their semi-final proved equally tense, requiring a last-gasp goal against Sweden in extra time to seal progression. Whereas, Aitana Bonmati scored in the final quarter-hour of extra time against Germany to secure their spot in the summit clash.

Reflecting on her appointment, Frappart expressed gratitude and pride at being chosen for such a prestigious occasion: "I'm very pleased to have been selected to referee the Women's Euros final. It's a big honour and a proud moment at the end of a wonderful tournament."

Frappart famously became the first woman to take charge of a major men's UEFA competition final in 2019, when she officiated the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea. In 2020, she broke new ground again by refereeing a men’s UEFA Champions League group stage match between Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv, an unprecedented moment in football history.

The final in Basel is not just another match; it is a rematch of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final, where Spain edged past England 1-0 courtesy of a decisive strike from Olga Carmona. The result left a bitter taste for Sarina Wiegman’s squad and they now return to another final with revenge on their minds and redemption within reach.
