Coupe du monde 2026 : Sénégal / France, le nom de l’arbitre dévoilé
The highly anticipated clash between Senegal and France, scheduled for Tuesday as part of the 2026 World Cup group stage, will be officiated by the experienced Australian referee of Iranian origin, Alireza Faghani. FIFA officially announced his appointment just days before the match between the Lions of Teranga and Les Bleus.
A renowned referee on the international stage, Faghani has extensive experience in major competitions. He has officiated several key matches in the World Cup and in tournaments organized by FIFA.
His name remains particularly associated with the spectacular round of 16 match of the 2018 World Cup between France and Argentina, won by Les Bleus with a score of 4-3. A match which revealed to the general public the talent of Kylian Mbappé, who delivered a memorable performance.
The 48-year-old official was also present at the 2022 World Cup and recently refereed the Club World Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, a match won by the English side (3-0).
The appointment of Alireza Faghani to referee this match between Senegal and France demonstrates the importance FIFA places on this encounter, considered one of the key fixtures of the first round. Both teams will be looking to make a strong start to the competition in what promises to be an intense and hard-fought match.
