The stage is set for a high-stakes FIFA World Cup 2026 final as Argentina and Spain prepare to come face-to-face for football’s biggest trophy. Amid the excitement, one name has now become a huge talking point, and it’s none other than Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic.
On Friday, July 17, 2026, FIFA officially confirmed that the 46-year-old seasoned referee will officiate Sunday’s match at New York’s MetLife Stadium, with the assistance of fellow Slovenians Tomaz Klancnik and Andraz Kovacic.
While the appointment left Vincic visibly emotional as he received his referee kit, Argentine supporters may not be thrilled with this decision.
