FIFA released its full list of match officials for the 2026 World Cup on Thursday, including four Moroccan referees.
The governing body selected Jallal Jayed as a central referee, with Mostafa Akarkad and Zakaria Brinsi as assistant referees and Hamza El Fariq as a video assistant referee (VAR), as part of the tournament’s officiating team.
The full list of match officials appointed by FIFA includes 52 referees, 88 assistants, and 30 VAR officials after a three-year evaluation process involving training seminars and performance assessments in domestic and international matches.
Pierluigi Collina, chairman of FIFA’s Referees Committee, said the selected officials “are the best in the world,” and were selected after continuous monitoring and evaluation across national and international competitions.
The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19.
