Referees named for Euro semi-finals

UEFA have announced the refereeing teams to take charge of the Euro 2012 semi-finals.

The first semi-final between defending champions Spain and Portugal is set to take place in Donetsk on Wednesday.

Turkish referee Cuneyt Cak?r will officiate the game, with the help of compatriots Bahattin Duran and Tarik Ongun as his assistants.

Slovenian Damir Skomina will act as the fourth official.

The second semi-final between Germany and Italy sees Frenchman Stephane Lannoy appointed to oversee the game, with Frederic Cano and Michael Annonier as his assistants.

England’s Howard Webb will be the fourth official, very much keeping his hopes alive of refereeing the final, just as he did at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
