Rio de Janeiro: England's Howard Webb has been named by FIFA as one of 10 referees who will officiate at the Confederations Cup in Brazil next month.
Webb, who refereed the 2010 World Cup and Champions League finals, will be aided by his regular assistants Michael Mullarkey and Darren Cann. The 41-year-old from Yorkshire joins fellow European referees Bjorn Kuipers of the Netherlands, Pedro Proenca Oliveira Alves Garcia of Portugal and Felix Brych of Germany, reports Xinhua.
