The UEFA Referees Committee has named Englands Mark Clattenburg as the referee for the 2014
UEFA Super Cup match between the UEFA Champions League winners, Real Madrid CF, and the
UEFA Europa League winners, Sevilla FC, to be played at the Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, Wales
on Tuesday 12 August (20.45 CET).

County Durham-born Clattenburg, who is 39, has been an international referee since 2006, and has
so far officiated at a total of 46 UEFA fixtures in his career, as well as a considerable number of
high-level English domestic encounters.

Last season, Clattenburg refereed five UEFA Champions League matches, including the quarter-
final first leg between Real Madrid CF and Borussia Dortmund, as well as the UEFA Europa League
semi-final second leg between Juventus and SL Benfica. He also took charge of the 2012 Olympic
Games mens football tournament gold-medal match between Brazil and Mexico at Wembley
Stadium in London, and was an additional assistant referee at UEFA EURO 2012.

At the UEFA Super Cup match in Cardiff, Clattenburg will be accompanied by an all-English team of
match officials. Simon Beck and Stuart Burt are the assistant referees, with Darren England acting as
fourth official. Two additional assistant referees, Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor, complete the
referee team for the match.
