Coupe du monde-2026 : Un Anglais sera au sifflet de Sénégal-Irak
FIFA has officially announced the appointment of the referee who will officiate the decisive match between Senegal and Iraq, counting towards the third and final day of Group I of the 2026 World Cup. It is Englishman Anthony Taylor who will be in charge of enforcing the laws of the game during this match scheduled for Friday at the Toronto stadium in Canada.
A key figure in English refereeing, Anthony Taylor has extensive experience in major international tournaments. A regular in Premier League matches, he also frequently officiates Champions League games and UEFA competitions.
For this match, he will be assisted by his compatriots Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn as assistant referees.
For the Lions, this match against Iraq is of paramount importance. After a difficult run in the group stage, the Senegalese coach's men can no longer afford any mistakes. A victory is imperative if they hope to qualify for the round of 32.
Even with a victory, Senegal will need to keep a close eye on the result of the other group match and the standings of the best third-placed teams. The Lions will need to achieve all the necessary conditions to continue their journey in the 2026 World Cup.
