Italian Roberto Rosetti will referee the opening Euro 2008 match between co-hosts Switzerland and Czech Republic on Saturday in Basel in Group A, UEFA said on Thursday.
Fellow Italians Alessandro Griselli and Paolo Calcagno will be the linesmen, following the tournament protocol that all refereeing "teams" will be of the same nationality.
Tournament organisers released match official details for the first 12 of the 31 games, with Dutchman Pieter Vink taking charge of Austria's first match, against Croatia in Vienna on Sunday.
"These are all top referees and they have been working in these trio language groups for well over a year in the Champions League, which is very important," UEFA spokesman Rob Faulkner told a media briefing on Thursday.
