The challenge is scheduled for 4 pm (Angola time) at the Lusail Iconic stadium.<\/p>\n

The Polish referee, the first from that European country to referee a world cup final, will be assisted by his compatriots Pawel Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz.<\/p>\n

Szymon Marciniak, remember, has refereed two games in this World Cup, both involving the finalists (France\/Denmark 2-1) in the group stage and (Argentina-Australia 2-1) for the round of 16.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Raphael Claus will be the fourth referee, while his compatriot Bruno Pires is the Video Referee (VAR) chosen by the highest body of world football.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, for Saturday’s third-place match between Morocco and Croatia, FIFA appointed the trio of referees from Qatar, led by Abdularhman Al Jassim, assisted by Taleb Al Marri and Saoul Ahmed Almaqaleh.<\/p>\n
