Ivan Barton from El Salvador was chosen to officiate the match between Spain and France, while Ismail Elfath from the host country, the United States, will referee the other semi-final between England and Argentina. According to various media reports, there are currently 13 referees remaining in the pool.

Info360IndependentCenter10 hr. agoThe World Cup in football approaches its climax, with the semi-finals between Spain and France, and England and Argentina, followed by matches for third place and the final. The referees for these matches have been announced, but the main referee for the final and the match for third place has not yet been officially confirmed. Among those considered for these roles is Slovenian referee Slavko Vinčić, who has already officiated three matches at this tournament. FIFA has significantly reduced the number of head referees from 52 to just 13, with six European referees remaining, including Szymon Marciniak, Glenn Nyberg, Espen Eskås, Maurizio Mariani, and João Pinheiro. Vinčić has refereed games involving Brazil vs. Morocco, Algeria vs. Jordan, and Mexico vs. Ecuador. The German newspaper Bild highlights Italian referee Maurizio Mariani as a potential candidate for the final. Beyond his refereeing duties, Vinčić has drawn attention for his appearance rather than his officiating.
