Slavko Vincic to Referee Spain vs Argentina World Cup Final
FIFA has appointed Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic to officiate the FIFA World Cup 2026 grand final between Spain and Argentina, scheduled for Sunday at MetLife Stadium. At 46 years old, Vincic has been refereeing for FIFA since the 2010s and is set to oversee one of the most significant matches of his career.
He has previously officiated notable matches, including the 2022 UEFA Europa League final and several Champions League matches. This World Cup final will be Vincic's sixth overall and his fourth match of the tournament.
He has officiated Spain twice on their path to Euro 2024, including a group-stage victory over Italy and a semi-final against France, where Lamine Yamal scored a dramatic equalizer. The final is expected to draw significant scrutiny towards Vincic, as Spain seeks its second World Cup title and Argentina aims to defend its championship.
