Amman, July 18 (Petra) — Jordanian refereeing will be represented at
the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday in the United States, where
Argentina face Spain. FIFA has appointed international referee Adham
Makhadmeh as the fourth official for the title match at MetLife
Stadium.
Fellow Jordanian official Mohammad Al-Kalaf will also participate as
the reserve assistant referee. Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic has
been chosen to lead the officiating crew.
The appointments follow a successful tournament run for the Jordanian
refereeing delegation, which included Makhadmeh, Al-Kalaf, and Ahmed
Al-Ruwaili. The crew previously managed four matches during the
competition, starting with the group stage match between Spain and
Cape Verde, followed by New Zealand vs. Belgium, England vs. DR Congo
in the round of 32, and the round of 16 match between the United
States and Belgium.
The assignments represent an milestone for national sports
officiating, marking the first time Jordanian referees have been
selected to join the officiating team for a World Cup final match.
Spain secured their place in Sunday’s final after defeating France in
the semifinals, while defending champions Argentina advanced by
eliminating England.
