Szymon Marchiniak was appointed host of the World Cup final. The Polish referee revealed his plan for this meeting.
Szymon Marchiniak became the first Polish chief referee to have the honor of refereeing the World Cup final. In 1990, Michal Listkiewicz was the referee for the final match of the World Cup, but he was a linesman. The Polish referee admitted in an official FIFA statement that he intends to concentrate every second of the upcoming match.

Along with Szymon Marciniak, we will also see Tomasz Listkiewicz (the son of the aforementioned referee) and Pavel Sokolnicki on the field. Tomasz Kwiatkowski will sit in VARA. A moment after the announcement of the main arbiter of the most important meeting of the world championships, the Pole received a question from a reporter about his feelings about this choice.
The Pole admitted that he dreamed about it as a little boy, but he saw himself as a football player, and now he is a referee, and refereeing the World Cup final is like lifting a trophy for him. By the way, he thanked all the people who helped him get to where he was. Finally, he added that he hopes that no one will talk about the referees after the match.

For Szymon Marchiniak, the choice of the chief referee of the World Cup is so important that for health reasons he did not have the opportunity to lead a single meeting at Euro 2020, which he really wanted. Now he faces the most important task of his professional life.
“I’m expecting a great game. Two great teams, amazing players who can make something out of nothing every second of this game. So for us it’s definitely concentration, concentration and more concentration every second of this match. No relaxation, because , which is our advantage, we judged both teams, the teams know us, we know the teams, I think that this is a great merit of the teams for us, and we will try to use it,” he said.
Argentina and France will meet in the final of the World Cup. The game will take place on December 18 at 4:00 pm.
