Pablo Antonio Pozo is a former Chilean football referee. In 2008 Pozo refereed in the Beijing Olympics and the FIFA Club World Cup in Japan. Pozo has also been pre-selected as one of 38 referees from around the world who could possibly referee in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. If chosen, Pozo would become the first Chilean to referee a World Cup since Mario Sanchez Yanten participated in the 1998 World Cup in France. Most recently, he handed out a controversial red card to Ricardo Clark of the United States vs. Italy in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, causing the United States side to play a man down for an hour against the World Champions. Pozo has been selected to officiate at this summer's World Cup. He was originally scheduled to take charge of the first-round match between Algeria and Slovenia in Johannesburg on Sunday, 13 June, but suffered an injury several days beforehand. FIFA named Carlos Batres of Guatemala as his replacement. On Friday 18, FIFA designated him as the referee for the Group G match between Portugal and Korea DPR in Cape Town Stadium, Cape Town on Monday, 21 June. Three days later he officiated in a Group E game between Cameroon and the Netherlands at the same venue. Wikipedia [ - ]
