| Szymon Marciniak during the 2018 FIFA World Cup |
For the 37-year-old referee of Plock, it will be his second international final, having already officiated the final of the Under-21 European Championship in 2015, where he delivered a very strong performance under the eyes of Pierluigi Collina, who was Chief Refereeing Officer back at the time.
Marciniak was promoted to the UEFA Elite Group in July 2015 and managed to establish himself as a big name in European refereeing. He oversaw many top clashes in the UEFA Champions League (such as Atlético-Bayern, PSG-Barcelona, Barcelona-Juventus, etc.) and in the UEFA Europa League, where he has been appointed to the semifinal in 2016 (Shakthar Donetsk-Sevilla FC) and in 2017 (Olympique Lyonnais-Ajax Amsterdam).
Marciniak has also attended UEFA Euro 2016, where he officiated three games (Spain-Czech Republic, Iceland-Austria, Germany-Slovakia) and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where he refereed two games (Argentina-Iceland, Germany-Sweden).
During the showpiece at Lilleküla Arena, Szymon Marciniak will be assisted by his assistant referees Pawel Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz. Pawel Raczkowski and Tomasz Musial from Poland will work as additional assistant referees, whereas Ovidiu Alin Hategan from Romania will work as fourth official. Radoslaw Siejka of Poland will be reserve assistant referee.
Good luck to the refereeing team!
