MetCast Special Episode: UEFA Euro 2024

In this special UEFA Euro 2024 episode of Metcast, we spoke to top English referee Anthony Taylor, ahead of the tournament in Germany, about his preparations at the Manchester Metropolitan University Institute of Sport.

In the weeks before the tournament where he is one of 19 referees officiating - and part of a cohort of eight English officials in Germany - he made use of the Institute's  world-class facilities and expertise to complete acclimation training to help ensure he is in peak physical condition.

This was a return to the Institute of Sport for Anthony, who previously used the facilities to prepare for the World Cup in Qatar.

We also spoke to Senior Lecturer in Sports Performance at the Institute, Dr Dale Read, who has been leading the team working with Anthony. He explained the work they have done with him and how it benefits his performance.
