Swiss official Esther Staubli has been appointed referee for Sunday's UEFA Women's EURO 2017 final between the Netherlands and Denmark in Enschede.

It is the latest major appointment for the 37-year-old, who in 2015 refereed the UEFA Women's Champions League final in Berlin between FFC Frankfurt and Paris Saint-Germain.

She will be assisted by Sanja Rodjak Karšić of Croatia and Switzerland's Belinda Brem. Germany's Bibiana Steinhaus will be fourth official, with compatriot Katrin Rafalski as reserve assistant referee.

Former player Staubli became an international referee in 2006, and officiated at UEFA Women's EURO 2009 and 2013, as well as the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. She also referees in the Swiss men's second-tier Challenge League.
