FIFA has selected Slovenian Slavko Vincic as the referee for the 2026 North and Central America World Cup finals. Although he is a veteran referee who has been in charge of major matches on the European stage, an incident in which he was caught up in a crackdown on a prostitution ring in Bosnia in the past is attracting attention again. Vincic will serve as referee for the final match between Spain and Argentina to be held at the New Jersey Stadium in the United States on the 20th (Korean time). He is the first Slovenian to referee a World Cup final, and will be in charge of the fourth match in this tournament, including the matches between Brazil and Morocco, Algeria and Jordan, and Mexico and Ecuador. The assistant referees were Tomas Klančnik and Andrász Kovacic, and Jordan's Adham Makadme was assigned as the standby referee. According to foreign media such as the American media New York Post on the 17th (local time), Vincic attended a meeting held in Bjelina, Bosnia and Herzegovina in May 2020 and was involved in a police crackdown on a drug and prostitution ring. At the time, police arrested 9 women and 26 men, along with 4 bags of cocaine and 10 handguns.
