Italian referee Daniele Orsato has earned an appointment for the final match of the World Cup in Qatar, said former FIFA referee Alexei Nikolaev.
– Who is worthy of the judges to work in the final? I had one candidate at the beginning of the tournament – Orsato. He deserves this game, the Italian team was just not at the World Cup. But, as practice shows, forecasts are not a thankful task, and this World Cup proved it to us.
A lot of countries that we saw in the final matches have already gone home. I don’t think that Orsato will referee the final, because yesterday he worked at the semi-final. But he once again proved his high class with his work,” Nikolaev told Metaratings.ru.
The final of the tournament will take place on December 18 at Lusail Ikonik Stadium. The Argentina national team will meet the winner of the France-Morocco pair in the decisive match.
