As the EuroHockey Championship brings together so many of the world’s best players, the same is true for the officials with an all-star line-up of officials assembled for the event in Mönchengladbach from August 18 to 27.
All told in senior outdoor international fixtures, the umpires have stood in 1,717 matches, 55 previous European top tier tournaments, 23 World Cups and 12 Olympic Games.
Laurine Delforge (BEL), Ben Goentgen (GER) and Michelle Meister (GER) are all set for their sixth Euros while Sarah Wilson has officiated in the women’s final for the past four editions.
To further illustrate the calibre, Dutchman Coen van Bunge whistled at the men’s Olympic Games final in Tokyo while Delforge and Wilson were on the women’s final, a role the former also did in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Jakub Mejzlík (CZE) umpired the men’s World Cup final earlier this year.
They will be guided by a team of umpire managers packed with top class know-how while the tournament’s technical delegates are Chris Brewer (WAL) and Magda Nazaret (POL) who will ensure each facet runs to order.
