Mark Clattenburg, Martin Atkinson named as UEFA referees for Euro 2016

Premier League match officials Mark Clattenburg and Martin Atkinson have been selected by UEFA as referees for next summer's European Championships.

The two Englishmen, who are senior refereeing figures in the top flight, are two of 18 match officials who have been chosen for the major tournament.

A statement from UEFA read: "Each refereeing team will consist of a referee, two assistant referees and two additional assistant referees. The majority of assistants and additional assistants will come from the same country as the referee. A third assistant referee will also be appointed and will stay on standby until the start of the tournament."

The refereeing teams will be announced in February 2016.
