Portuguese to referee final

30 June 2012-AP

Pedro Proenca of Portugal will complete a prestigious double by refereeing the European championship final between Spain and Italy on Monday (AEST).

UEFA says it has given the 41-year-old Proenca the assignment in Kiev, Ukraine, six weeks after selecting him for the UEFA Champions League final. Chelsea beat Bayern Munich in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw.

Proenca has refereed both EURO 2012 finalists in his three matches in Poland and Ukraine.

He handled Spain's 4-0 victory over Ireland in the group stage and Italy's quarter-final win on penalties against England after a 0-0 draw.

Proenca also refereed Sweden's 2-0 win against France.

He has not shown a red card or awarded a penalty at EURO 2012.
