Swede Martin Hansson, who was at the centre of France's controversial World Cup qualification, was named on Friday among the 30 referees for the finals in South Africa in June.
Hansson failed to spot Thierry Henry's handball in the playoff second leg against Ireland in Paris in November and was widely criticised after the incident led to the goal which allowed France to qualify.
Norwegian Tom Henning Ovrebo, who turned down a raft of penalty appeals in Chelsea's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona last season, did not make the cut despite being on an initial shortlist of 37 referees.
Ten referees from Europe, six from South America, four from the Asian, African and CONCACAF confederations and two from New Zealand were appointed for the World Cup after a meeting in Zurich of the refereeing committee of world soccer's ruling body FIFA.
