French referee Clement Turpin will referee this year's European Championship opener between Germany and Scotland in Munich, UEFA announced on its official website.

The 42-year-old referee has overseen five matches at the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, including Brazil's win over South Korea in the round of 16 in Qatar.
