Spanish referee Gil Manzano chosen for France vs. Italy

Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano has been selected to officiate the UEFA Nations League match between France and Italy at the Stade de France in Paris. An all-Spanish officiating crew will oversee the fixture, including assistant referees Guadalupe Porras Ayuso and Raul Cabanero, fourth official Juan Martinez Munuera, and Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez as the VAR.

The 42-year-old official has previously overseen two Italy senior fixtures, resulting in a win and a draw. France enters the match leading Group A with consecutive 1-0 victories, while Italy seeks ground after an opening loss to Belgium followed by a 4-1 victory over Turkiye.
