FIFA has appointed Slavko Vinčić to referee the 2026 World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Vinčić will be joined by assistant referees Tomaž Klančnik and Andraž Kovačič.
Adham Makhadmeh of Jordan has been appointed as the fourth official for the match at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The World Cup final will be the fourth game that Vinčić will take charge of at the tournament.
