The World Cup final between Argentina and Spain will be refereed by Slavko Vinčić of Slovenia. This decision was announced by FIFA late Thursday.
Refereeing Experience
Vinčić has experience refereeing high-profile matches, including the Champions League final in 2024. He has shown seven yellow cards and one red card in his three games at the 2026 World Cup.
Vinčić’s appointment comes after some criticism of refereeing decisions in the tournament, with some coaches claiming inconsistencies. However, FIFA director of referees Pierluigi Collina has stated that the integrity of the referees should not be questioned.
