In one of the most anticipated matches in history, Argentina face off with France in the Qatar 2022 World Cup final. As expected, in a battle between the two biggest stars, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, FIFA had a very tough task when selecting the referee for this game.

France hoisted the trophy in 1998 and 2018. That’s why they might still become the third team ever to win the tournament in consecutive editions. Meanwhile, Argentina won in 1978 and 1986.

Daniele Orsato (Italy) and Cesar Ramos (Mexico) were out of contention to be the referee in the final considering both had appearances in the Qatar 2022 World Cup semifinals. Other important names were already discarded like Michael Oliver (England) or the controversial Mateu Lahoz (Spain). Read here to find out who will be the referee in the final.
