The Final at Soccer City in Johannesburg on 11 July will be the 38-year-old Yorkshireman's fourth game at these first African finals as he also took charge of Spain-Switzerland, Slovakia-Italy and Brazil-Chile.

The third-place play-off in Port Elizabeth 24 hours earlier will be handled by Mexican referee Benito Archundia, who will be overseeing his third game of this FIFA World Cup. It will be his eighth match at FIFA World Cup tournaments, ranking him among only three referees to have officiated that number in history.
