István Kovács Named Referee for 2025 UEFA Champions League Final in Munich
Advertisement
Romanian referee István Kovács will be the man with the whistle for the biggest game in European club football — the 2025 UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. The match takes place at the iconic Munich Football Arena on Saturday, June 1, with kick-off set for 12:45 AM Nepal Time.
This isn’t Kovács’ first time under the spotlight. The 40-year-old has built a reputation as one of UEFA’s most trusted officials. He’s already handled two major European finals — the 2022 Conference League final between Roma and Feyenoord, and the 2024 Europa League final featuring Atalanta and Leverkusen.
Kovács has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2010 and has managed seven Champions League matches this season alone, including the high-stakes Round of 16 clash between Liverpool and Paris.
Refereeing Team for the Final
- Main Referee: István Kovács (Romania)
- Assistant Referees: Mihai Marica & Ferencz Tunyogi (Romania)
- Fourth Official: João Pedro Silva Pinheiro (Portugal)
- Reserve Assistant: Bruno Miguel Alves Jesus (Portugal)
- VAR: Dennis Higler (Netherlands)
- Assistant VAR: Cătălin Popa (Romania)
- VAR Support: Paulus van Boekel (Netherlands)
With experience, consistency, and calm under pressure, Kovács is set to take charge of the most-watched football night of the year. All eyes will be on the pitch — and on the man making the calls.
