Select group referee Chris Foy will take charge of the FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Portsmouth on Wembley 15th of May. Foy has previously been appointed to the Carling Cup final and the FA Community Shield.
Foy will be assisted by John Flynn and Shaun Procter-Green, with Andre Marriner as fourth official. This is Shaun Procter-Green’s second final this season, as he was part of the team who refereed the Carling Cup final late February.
