English referee Anthony Taylor, who showed red cards to South Korea head coach Paulo Bento and Son Heung-min in the Premier League at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, announced his early retirement at the age of 47. In a written statement, Taylor stated that refereeing at the elite level is a great privilege, but he is tired of working under intense pressure and constant scrutiny.
Taylor, who was part of many important moments throughout his career, officiated his last match on 7 July, the 2026 North America World Cup round of 16 match played between Spain and Portugal. The experienced referee, who has officiated 432 matches in the Premier League since 2010 and 163 'A' international matches in the international arena, saw this match become the 831st and final match of his career.
One of the most talked-about moments of Taylor's career was sending off Bento, who protested after the corner kick controversy at the end of the Ghana match in the 2022 World Cup. In addition, sending Son Heung-min off with a red card after a VAR review following his challenge on Antonio Rüdiger during a match between Tottenham and Chelsea in 2019 also made headlines. On the other hand, he also gained international praise for his quick and calm reaction during the moments when Christian Eriksen suffered a heart attack at EURO 2020.
