Now 41, Manchester-born Taylor has been refereeing since 2002, and featured in his first UEFA matches in 2009. He has been a referee in England's Premier League since 2010 and is now a regular fixture in the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League and national-team competitions. His most recent UEFA assignment was Paris’s 2-1 win against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on 12 August.
This will not be Taylor's first UEFA Super Cup; he was listed as an additional assistant referee for the 2014 game, in which Real Madrid beat 2020 contenders Sevilla 2-0.
Taylor's assistants and VAR team also come from England, while fourth official Orel Grinfeeld is from Israel.
2020 UEFA Super Cup refereeing team
Referee: Anthony Taylor (England)
Assistant referees: Gary Beswick (England), Adam Nunn (England)
Fourth official: Orel Grinfeeld (Israel)
VAR: Stuart Attwell (England)
Assistant VAR: Paul Tierney (England)
I have doubts about Grinfeld appointment, considering that (as Chefren pointed out in previous posts) his country will enforce a strong lockdown from the next Friday.

DeleteIt is a very deserved appointment for Taylor based on the performances he showed in UEFA games and a good opportunity without English teams. There could have been some names ahead in terms of experience, regarding Turpin it is easy to guess that he is kept as candidate for a major final on this season, let's not forget we will have EURO 2020 as well...
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see Grinfeeld as fourth official in Budapest, Israel should be in lockdwon on that date (24/09), I could start to think that UEFA will ask him for staying in another country for a certain time to be available for appointments. Otherwise, with so many other names, picking exactly him and then having to make a replacement wouldn't make any sense.
Good appointment !!! I had predict him because in my opinion is overall the best choice. How can Grinfeld travel in Budapest under lockdown in Israel ? Oliver could replace him as 4th
ReplyDeleteI expected a couple of other names ahead of Taylor but surely it's a deserved appointment after his performances the last 2 seasons.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the whole refereeing team.
Hategan omitted from another UEFA final... wondering whether it is due to the penalty awarded recently in France - Croatia?
ReplyDeleteChefren, you also considered Hategan as the main candidate, didn't you? Why do you think he was not appointed to the Super Cup?
DeleteYes he was my first candidate, more experience than Taylor, at the same time a valid option for this match because in case he would have had more time to develop for a major final (overall, I don't perceive him at moment at the same level of Turpin, to make an example), so this appointment looked to be a great opportunity. Given that he wont be there, I'm in trouble to find explanations, first of all one must always analyze performances. There can be multiple reasons for that, maybe the mistake he made in WC play off is still something that needs time to be removed, maybe too many mistakes by his assistant referees in his games... but I can't add more than that, because he was always good in the other crucial decisions.
DeleteI don't think that this last handball he called in France - Croatia was a reason, in case of appointment for Super Cup, he would have been confirmed. Let's wait for his next games. Luckily he has still a long time ahead and even better times will come also for him!
He looks young, but is already 40, with only Euro 2016 under his belt, in spite of being an Elite referee for a long time.
DeleteIf UEFA wanted an English ref to ref this I would of gone for Micheal Olivier, as Anthony Taylor wasn't great in the FA Cup Final he referred a couple of dubious decisions he made here and I think Olivier is the better referee
ReplyDeleteI agree. I think Oliver is better, you just have to watch Oliver's performance in Liverpool v Leeds compared to Taylor's horror show in the FA Cup final to see it. But it seems we are in the minority on that opinion.
DeleteSince UEFA wanted an English ref for the final, they did the right thing to appoint England's No1.
DeleteIn these days in Tivoli, near Rome, the referees and assistant referees are reunited for a meeting like every year. Following a journalist who wrote an article on a Italian famous journal 15 out of 82 assistant referees didn’t pass quiz test, included a FIFA AR from Liguria
ReplyDeleteObviously speaking of Italian refs
DeleteThis journalist from Il Corriere dello Sport has very reliable (direct) sources inside serie A committee. Of course Rizzoli and the other members will not be happy about this leak, but previous info reported by the same journalist in past were always confirmed. The international assistant referee failing the quiz should be Alassio, as he is the only one from Liguria. All 15 will not officiate for a month in this start of the season.
DeleteAnother info worthy of being mentioned is that Orsato was very angry when he knew that Manganelli had been removed from serie A assistant referees, he would have liked a derogation for him until EURO 2020.
Not a very clear line for derogations in Italy... with some officials allowed to continue, while some not... Maybe it is time that Italy will follow Spain and remove the age limit or at least allow FIFA referees to continue until 47 like Germany. Going over 50 Like England is too much, but finding balance like Spain and Germany would only benefit Italian refereeing, in my opinion.
DeleteAn interesting interview today on a local newspaper from Orsato's region (Veneto) reports that Rosetti made a videocall to Orsato on Sunday 16 August, exactly a week before the final, to inform him about the major appointment. He asked something like that: "Are you available for next Sunday?" Orsato answered "Yes", and then Rosetti replied "Good, so you can go to officiate the game" (without mentioning that it was CL final, of course). Orsato then asked "Which game?" and finally he had confirmation that he had been assigned to CL final. So, the decision was already taken by committee even before semifinals and the teams involved. I would even dare to say that Orsato was planned for final in any case already by a long time, it seems quite clear, only an Italian team in final would have changed it.
ReplyDeleteRegarding lockdowns, Hungary closed their borders and only Hungarian citizens are allowed to enter Hungary by the end of September. It will be interesting to see how will that reflect Supercup match, ecpecialy when UEFA allpwed public on the stadium for this match.
ReplyDeleteI just remembered that Dinamo is playing tomorrow against Ferencvaros in Budapest. Probably there are eceptions for sports events...
DeleteLittle bit unexpected for me, but due to disaster performance of Hategan, only logical decision. Congrats to Taylor.
ReplyDeleteWhat disaster performance are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteI talk about on example penalty for France. Or it was good decision.
DeleteYou can't say that his performance was disaster due to one doubtful penalty call. I watched entire game (and I am from Croatia) Hategan was very good in that match, I was specialy impressed by his consistency regarding YCs. IMO that was not a penalty but I would not be surprised if observer supported his decision.
DeleteOh and I also think that Hategan was not even considered for Supercup, I think Taylor's appointment wqs decided earlier after his very good performances in CL and EL.
If you think Hategan was very good in France - Croatia and we all saw his other very good performances in the last 2 years (after NIR-SUI), why was he not considered for Super Cup or any other finals or even semi-finals in 2020 (as referee, not fourth official)?
ReplyDeleteBe so kind and give example what Hategan did wrong in France-Croatia except that penalty call (although handball was clear, maybe not punishable, but handball existed so I can understand why he whistled it) to say that he was not very good? Why committee doesn't trust him enough to appoint him for some more important matches is something you have to ask them I really don't know.
DeleteYou misunderstood my comment. I actually agreed with you and was looking for your (and others) opinion on why he is not getting any important appointments from UEFA? For me, it seems unexplicable and was hoping someone would have any idea, beside the fact that he is from Eastern Europe?
DeleteOh sorry I did misunderstood you :/. Whole that situation with Hategan is very strange. Experienced referees, elite for years, even has EURO experience but still no some significant appointment (CL semi finals or any final). There must be something why committee is not convinced to appoint him but I realy have no idea. Maybe (I think Chefren mentioned it earlier) the fact that his assistants are not so superb as some other assistants...
DeleteI Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders.
