Just days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, FIFA officially announced the referee appointments for the tournament’s opening matches, and Facundo Tello will officiate one of the first games. The Argentine referee was selected to take charge of Canada vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina, a Group B match.

After being part of the officiating team at Qatar 2022, this will be his second World Cup. He will be joined by Juan Pablo Belatti and Gabriel Chade as assistant referees, while Hernán Mastrángelo will serve as VAR.
