Poland's Szymon Marciniak will referee Sunday's World Cup final between Argentina and France, the Polish FA and FIFA announced on Thursday.

The 41-year-old, who made his World Cup debut in 2018 in Russia, will be joined by assistants Pawel Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz.

Marciniak has already officiated matches involving both teams at the tournament -- Argentina's last-16 win over Australia and France's group-stage victory against Denmark.

The three have already overseen matches at the Under-18 world championships as well as the Euros in 2016.

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 final takes place on Sunday, December 18.
