The U-19 Women European Championship, currently being held in Lithuania, is approaching its pinnacle. On Wednesday, the semi-finals will determine which two teams will advance to the final.

The semi-final matchups are England vs. Spain and Netherlands vs. France. UEFA has appointed the referees for these key games, with Albanian referee Emanuela Rusta assigned to the Netherlands vs. France match.

Rusta will be joined by assistants Fie Bruun and Giulia Tempestilli. Silvia Gasperotti will serve as the fourth official, and Marta Frias Acedo will assist Rusta from the VAR room.

Rusta, who has officiated notable European matches such as SL Benfica W vs. Barcelona W in the UEFA Women’s Champions League and Switzerland vs. Hungary in the U-19 European Championship, is set to make history by leading a semi-final for the first time.
