FAMOA Event - Anthony Taylor

The Royal Navy FA is delighted to have secured the services of Select Group and FIFA International Referee Anthony Taylor, who will come and share...

Anthony Taylor has been a member of the Select Group of referees since the 2010/11 season, after an eight-year career officiating non-league and Football League matches.
Anthony started refereeing in the Northern Premier League from 2002 to 2004 before being given a chance to take control of Conference matches.
It took only two years to gain a further promotion and officiate in the Football League for the first time.

In his fourth season of refereeing in the Football League, Anthony was given his first opportunity to work in the top-flight when taking charge of Fulham’s 1-0 win over Portsmouth in February 2010.
Later that year, Anthony was in charge for the FA Vase final and his performances throughout the 2009/10 campaign elevated the Cheshire FA referee to the Select Group officials for the following season.

The FA Trophy final followed in 2012, before Anthony was the fourth official in Wigan Athletic's 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the 2013 FA Cup final. By this time, Anthony was promoted to the FIFA officials list and in 2015 he would referee the Capital One Cup Final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur and the Community Shield for Arsenal’s triumph over triumph over Chelsea. Anthony returned to Wembley in 2017 to referee the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Arsenal.

Now an Elite FIFA official, Anthony regularly Referees UEFA Champions League games and recently refereed FC Porto vs. Besiktas in the group stage on Wednesday 13th September.
