In a statement, UEFA explained that refereeing at the Portugal-France game will complete a remarkable seven weeks for MarkClattenburg, during which he has officiated at the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals.

The 41-year-old, who also officiated the UEFA Champions League final in May, becomes the second man to take charge of both major European occasions in the same year after Portugal's Pedro Proença did the same in 2012.

Former electrician Clattenburg also took charge of May's FA Cup final.

An international referee since 2007, his CV also includes the 2012 Olympic men's final and 2014 UEFA Super Cup. He is the first English referee of a EURO final since Arthur Ellis (1960) and Arthur Holland (1964) were in the middle for the first two deciders.

This is Clattenburg's fourth appointment of UEFA EURO 2016, following Belgium v Italy, Czech Republic v Croatia and Switzerland v Poland.

He was also a fourth official when Iceland played Austria, his only previous appointment for a UEFA fixture at the Stade de France.
