Orel Grinfeld (Hebrew: אוראל גרינפלד; born 21 August 1981) is an Israeli football referee. He has been on the FIFA list of international referees since 2012, and took charge of his first international matches in March that year, officiating in two Group 1 matches in the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Championship elite round. He has since gone on to referee senior matches, making his debut in the UEFA Europa League group stage in 2015–16.[2] He made his UEFA Champions League debut in a 2018–19 group stage game between Real Madrid and Viktoria Plzeň. In 2019–20 season, he became the first Israeli referee to officiate a game in the UEFA Champions League knockout stage, in a last 16 game between Lazio and Bayern Munich. He was not selected for the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament due to his controversial performance on the 14th of March 2024 during the Aston Villa - Ajax game in the UEFA Conference League round of 16, where he refused sending off Aston Villa players Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers.
UEFA Euro 2020
This was Grinfeld's first appearance at a major tournament. Grinfeld refereed the Netherlands–Austria (Group C) match.[3]
