Boston (Lord Media): Questions have emerged over the selection of officials for the first quarter-final of the FIFA World Cup 2026, featuring Morocco and France, as all five officials are chosen from Argentina.
FIFA released the list of officials for the match scheduled on the night of July 9, including the match referee, two assistant referees, a reserve assistant referee, and the fourth official, all hailing from Argentina.
This decision has sparked surprise and skepticism among social media users and football fans worldwide. One user remarked that this move is yet another sign of FIFA’s favoritism towards Argentina.
Former West Indies captain Carlos Brathwaite also criticized the decision, stating that FIFA is blatantly displaying bias and questioned its transparency.
