English referee Anthony Taylor will take charge of the FIFA Club World Cup final on Saturday.

FIFA has announced Taylor will be joined alongside fellow English assistant referees Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn for the clash between European champions Real Madrid and Asian counterparts Al Hilal.

The trio have had previous experience on the global stage after officiating at the World Cup in Qatar last year.

Taylor was the referee for two group stage games - Ghana's 3-2 win over South Korea and Croatia's goalless draw against Belgium.

He also officiated Egypt's Al Ahly's 1-0 quarter-final victory over the Seattle Sounders at the Club World Club.

Saturday's match will take place at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Morocco after the semi-finals saw Real secure a 4-1 win against Al Ahly while Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal edged to a 3-2 victory against Brazil's Flamengo.
