Mark Clattenburg (born 13 March 1975) is an English professional football referee who is currently Head of Refereeing for the Saudi Arabian Football Federation. He was born in Consett, County Durham, but is now based in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. He is a former member of the Premier League and the Durham County Football Association and also formally a FIFA referee.
Clattenburg has refereed a number of notable matches, including the 2016 UEFA Champions League Final and the UEFA Euro 2016 Final.
Clattenburg took up refereeing in 1990 as part of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and became an assistant referee in the Northern League at the age of 18, later refereeing in that league. He became both a Football Conference referee and a Football League assistant referee in the year 1999, but was rapidly promoted to the National List of Football League referees in the year 2000. He had served only one year as an assistant – a record shared with Steve Baines – but his promise led to quicker promotion. His debut Football League match (at the age of just 25 – a one-time post-War record) was between Chesterfield and York City on 12 August 2000, with Chesterfield winning 4–1. Clattenburg was then fourth official for the 2001–02 Division Three play-off final and the 2002–03 FA Trophy final.
