The referee for Norway vs England is Clement Turpin, a respected and experience official from France.
Norway and England are set to fight it out for a place in the World Cup semi-final, where the winner will face Argentina or Switzerland in Atlanta on July 15.
England topped their group with wins over Croatia and Panama and a draw with Ghana, and in the knock out rounds the Three Lions edged past DR Congo and then put in a very impressive display against Mexico in Mexico City.
Referee confirmed for Norway vs England clash
For Norway, who are playing in their first World Cup since 1998, and wins over Iraq and Senegal saw them through the group stage, despite a 4-1 defeat by France. They then beat Ivory Coast and then Erling Haaland scored twice in a 2-1 win over five times World Cup winners Brazil.
But who will be in charge of their encounter at Miami Stadium?
Turpin has been appointed to oversee this clash, having been a FIFA-listed referee since 2010 and joined UEFA’s Elite group in 2012.
The Frenchman boasts experience of 674 competitive matches with most of them taking place in his native Ligue 1 but is also well versed in major international fixtures.
He has been assigned to matches at three World Cups including two group games of this year’s tournament – including England’s opener with Croatia – as well as Colombia vs Ghana, as well as European Championship matches in 2021 and 2024.
Turpin also officiated successive European showpieces including the 2021 Europa League final before being handed the Champions League final in Paris just 12 months later.
The 44-year-old is one of the more measured referees when it comes to disciplinary action with his yellow card count averaging out at just over three per game.
He will be assisted by compatriots Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pages as part of a European line-up for the clash between the teams from Northern Europe.
Spanish duo Alejandro Hernandez and Jose Enrique Naranjo have been named as fourth official and reserve assistant referee respectively ahead of the showdown.
