Webb to referee World Cup final

08 Jul 2010 - 17:49:02

England's Howard Webb has been confirmed as the referee for Sunday's World Cup final between Spain and Netherlands in Johannesburg.

Webb will become the first Englishman to referee the final since Jack Taylor in 1974 when he takes charges of the showpiece at Soccer City.

The 38-year-old from Rotherham will be assisted by Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey.

The trio were also selected to officiate the Champions League final in May between Internazionale and Bayern Munich.

Webb was overlooked for both the quarter-finals and semi-final stages of the World Cup but had been retained by FIFA for the latter stages of the tournament.

The final will be his fourth match at the finals after starting out with Spain's surprise Group H defeat to Switzerland in the first round of matches.

He also refereed Italy's final group game against Slovakia and the last 16 game between Brazil and Chile.
