Pre-match

Officials

The refereeing team for the 2011 Europa League final will be provided by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, and led by referee Carlos Velasco Carballo.[1] Velasco Carballo began refereeing in the Spanish Primera División in 2004, and in April 2005 he was selected as the fourth official for three matches in the elite round of the 2005 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. In 2008, he was promoted to the FIFA list of international referees and he refereed his first international matches in the elite qualification round of the 2008 UEFA Under-19 Championships. He took charge of his first Champions League qualifying match later that year, followed by another in 2009–10, as well as six Europa League matches. In 2010–11, he refereed his first matches in the Champions League proper, including three group stage games and the first leg of the semi-final between Schalke 04 and Manchester United.[6]

Velasco Carballo's refereeing team will be all-Spanish; he will be supported by assistant referees Roberto Alonso Fernández and Jesús Calvo Guadamuro on the touchlines, and Carlos Clos Gómez and Antonio Rubinos Pérez in the penalty areas, as well as fourth official David Fernández Borbolán and reserve assistant referee Juan Carlos Yuste Jiménez.[1]
