Russia cannot be seen in the World Cup any British referee who

FIFA has officially approved a 99-member official for referee and assistant for the World Cup in Russia. They will represent 46 countries in total. But there was no British referee in this list!

There will be 36 referee matches in Russia World Cup. Assistant Referee will be in the role of 63 more. But in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, no referees can be seen in the World Cup. This last instance was seen in the 1938 France World Cup. That's not the first time in 80 years that a British referee cannot be seen in the World Cup.

However, two years ago, the name of Mark Clutterberg was on the draft list of Russia's World Cup referees. But the English left the Premier League last year and took charge of the referees' headquarters in the Saudi Football Federation. Russia withdrew from the FIFA draft referee list for the World Cup, retiring from the last quarter, Clattenberg England Football Association (FA) has requested FIFA to take another referee as an alternative.

Russia will be the referee for 10 countries in Europe World Cup FIFA has chosen six referees from Africa, Asia, North and South America. Apart from this, two referees will represent the continent of Oceania. After the 1938 World Cup, the World Cup did not create two World Cups in the next 12 years. At least one English referee in every tournament from the Brazil World Cup in the 1950 Brazilian World Cup. Howard Webb represented Britain in the last two World Cups He runs the 2010 World Cup finals.

Three British referees have seen so far in the World Cup finals. No other country except Italy has this glory

That the English league, the best league in the World with some of the best officiating doesn't get to have a World Cup referee is just wrong. Someone in FIFA must have it out for them.
