July 8 (UPI) -- Referee Felix Zwayer, who once served a six-month ban for match fixing, will officiate during Wednesday's Euro 2024 semifinal between England and the Netherlands, UEFA announced.
The German will work alongside assistant referees Stefan Lupp and Marco Achmuller, fourth official Daniel Siebert and video assistant referee Bastian Dankert in the all-German crew. The game will be held at 3 p.m EDT Wednesday at Dortmund, Germany, and air on Fox.
UEFA did not immediately respond when asked for comment on the Zwayer appointment.
Zwayer received his banishment in 2005. An investigation determined that he was guilty of accepting a $325 bribe from another official -- Robert Hoyzer -- before a 2004 match between SV Wuppertal and Werder Bremn Amateure, with a directive to favor Wuppertaler while he officiated the contest.
