ZURICH (AP) — FIFA has included Martin Hansson in its squad of World Cup referees despite the Swede missing Thierry Henry’s handball during France’s decisive qualifier against Ireland.
One of Hansson’s assistants from the all-Swedish crew that officiated the France-Ireland playoff was omitted, Fredrik Nilsson, and replaced by Henrik Andren. The other assistant, Stefan Wittberg, will join Hansson at the World Cup.
Hansson is among 30 referees chosen to travel to South Africa this summer.
