There will be 36 referee selected to monitor the matches in Russia WC competition. And the Assistant Referee’s amount of 63 whom will be played a very big role in the championship.
But it become a surprising matter that no one of them come from England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. It’s really strange that no referees can be seen of British side in the World Cup Russia.

Russia withdrew from the FIFA draft referee list for the WC tournament, retiring from the last quarter, Clattenburg England Football Association (FA) has requested FIFA to take another referee as an alternative.
After a 80 years later the same event comes again. Now it’s miracle or planning it’s still cover. This is England’s pioneer in the game of football. But their referees will not be there in the WC championship. This decision was made at a time when there was a great tension between Britain and Russia in the attempt to murder the spy.

The UEFA affiliated referees found in the tournament are host country, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Serbia, Italy, Slovenia and French referees.
