Germany's Felix Zwayer will referee the 2025 UEFA Europa League final between Tottenham and Manchester United, to be played at San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, Spain on Wednesday 21 May. The game will kick off at 21:00 CET.

Zwayer will be assisted by compatriots Robert Kempter and Christian Dietz.

This will be his second UEFA competition final as a referee, with Zwayer having previously been in charge of the 2023 UEFA Nations League final between Croatia and Spain. He was also the lead official in four matches at UEFA EURO 2024, including the semi-final between England and the Netherlands.
