Poland's Szymon Marciniak will referee the 2022 World Cup final between France and Argentina on Sunday afternoon.

Marciniak, who will be assisted by Paweł Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz, will make history by becoming the first Polish referee to take charge of a World Cup final.

Marciniak's appointment will come as a blow to Anthony Taylor - who is still in Qatar - and Michael Oliver - who was sent home by FIFA.

Sports Center reports FIFA referee chairman Pierluigi Collina selected Marciniak for the World Cup final at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday.

Collina was impressed with the 41-year-old's performances during the tournament in Qatar and felt he was the best man for the job.

Marciniak was responsible for officiating France's 2-1 win over Denmark in the group stages and Argentina's 2-1 victory against Australia in the Last 16.
