Letexier will be one of the youngest FIFA referees in Europe

The French Referees Committee submitted their proposals for the 2017 FIFA Lists. Referee Fredy Fautrel decided to accept a position with the Technical Direction of Refereeing (DTA) and will stop his career at the end of this year. He will be replaced by Francois Letexier (27), who will become the youngest French referee on the international list. Letexier (photo) will also be amongst the three youngest FIFA referees in Europe, along with Sandro Schaerer (SUI, 26) and Michael Oliver (ENG, 26). On the AR list, Mickael Annonier and Philippe Jeanne will be replaced by Julien Pacelli and Bertrand Jouannaud. Frederic Cano, who was Turpin’s AR1 at Euro 2016 and Rio 2016, renounced voluntarily to participate in the selection process for the FIFA World Cup 2018. He will continue on the FIFA List, but was replaced by Cyril Gringore in Turpin’s team.
