Top World Cup referee injured with 250k annual salary
The opening match of the 2026 World Cup between Ivory Coast and Ecuador, originally scheduled to be held in Philadelphia, United States, has been canceled due to a minor injury to English video assistant referee Michael Oliver, who earns an annual salary of £250,000. The match will now be officiated by a French referee, while FIFA referees benefit from bonuses that can reach up to £1,116 per Premier League game, in addition to extra payments for international matches and the World Cup. Oliver is among the highest-paid referees in the tournament, having started his refereeing career in 2010 and participating in FIFA-sanctioned tournaments since 2012.
