Webb chosen for U-17 World Cup

by Martin Rødvand on July 26, 2009

Howard Webb, together with his assistants Mike Mullarkey and Darren Cann, will be participating in the FIFA U-17 World Cup this October and November. The English team will be in Nigeria from the 18th of October and may miss almost a month of Premier League football if they proceed to the final stage of the tournament.

This includes missing big matches like Liverpool vs. Manchester United and Chelsea vs. Manchester United, both matches Webb and his team would be in contention for. The tournament also clashes with two Champions League matchdays.

It’s worth noting that Webb last tournament was the Confederations Cup in June, but then with Peter Kirkup instead of Darren Cann. Cann last accompanied Webb in a major tournament last summer, when this trio refereed in EURO 2008 in Austria and Switzerland.
