Who was the referee?

Mark Clattenburg was holding the whistle at The Valley this afternoon. He has refereed many huge games over the years including the 2016 Champions League final and the 2016 Euro Final.

The Sidemen tweeted: “ A world class game like this requires a world class referee… Welcome to the charity match Mark Clattenburg!”

Mark Clattenburg left the Premier League in 2017 and it was announced he would be taking a role with the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, replacing Howard Webb as the country’s Head of Refereeing. He was regarded as England’s top referee at the time of his departure, having taken charge of the FA Cup final, Champions League final and Euro 2016 final the previous year.

In 2018, it was announced that Clattenburg had been replaced as the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s referees’ committee after 18 months in the post. A statement confirming the change was posted on the Saudi Football Federation’s Twitter page.

It read: “The Saudi Football Federation has issued a decision appointing Mr Nabil Bin Khalid Naqshbandi as chairman of the board of governors, replacing Mark Clattenburg. The decision to appoint Naqshbandi is part of the board’s efforts to develop the system of work of the union to promote football in the kingdom of the status that is appropriate to the world.”

Clattenburg was hired as one of the referees by the Chinese Football Association (CFA) in 2019. He was the referee for the 2019 Chinese FA Cup Final 2nd leg.
