Now 41, Manchester-born Taylor has been refereeing since 2002, and featured in his first UEFA matches in 2009. He has been a referee in England's Premier League since 2010 and is now a regular fixture in the UEFA Europa League, UEFA Champions League and national-team competitions. His most recent UEFA assignment was Paris’s 2-1 win against Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on 12 August.
This will not be Taylor's first UEFA Super Cup; he was listed as an additional assistant referee for the 2014 game, in which Real Madrid beat 2020 contenders Sevilla 2-0.
Taylor's assistants and VAR team also come from England, while fourth official Orel Grinfeeld is from Israel.

Good to see English refereeing back at that sort of level after a few quieter years.

Oliver who picks up "expected" games in European competitions will be one of those with hopes of going "deep" into the WC tournament

Interesting how one international organisation favours one referee over another. UEFA appoint Taylor to one of their 3 trophies (remembering Frappert broke ground last year) yet he is not on even the long list for WC22

Unless you know something that I don't, Taylor is on the long list for WC2022.
