U20 World Cup / Morocco – Argentina: FIFA reveals referee for the big final!

FIFA has made its decision: a familiar face from major European clashes will be on the whistle for the U20 World Cup final between Morocco and Argentina. Italian referee Maurizio Mariani, an experienced official and a regular on the continental stage, has been appointed to oversee this high-stakes showdown. Renowned for his authority and uncompromising management of big occasions, Mariani will shoulder the huge responsibility of ensuring a smooth final where nerves are set to run high.

He won’t be alone in this mission. FIFA has appointed his compatriots Daniele Bindoni and Alberto Tegoni as assistant referees—two top-level officials who regularly work alongside him in major competitions. Rounding out the refereeing team, Americans Joe Dickerson and Logan Brown will serve as fourth and fifth officials, respectively, lending their support at key moments of the match.

The final, set to be played in the early hours of Monday at midnight (French time) at the Julio Martínez Prádanos National Stadium in Santiago, promises to be electric. On one side, Morocco dreams of a historic triumph that would mark a milestone in African football. On the other, Argentina is eager to add another trophy to its illustrious international collection. In this context, Maurizio Mariani’s role could prove crucial in maintaining the balance of a match where every detail will matter.
