The internet’s favourite referee just landed a World Cup SEMI-FINAL 🇸🇻 Ivan Barton. France vs Spain. Dallas. Today. Some are saying it’s the best appointment of the tournament Fair play to one of CONCACAF’s finest. Enjoy it, Ivan 👏

Michael Oliver just joined an exclusive club 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Over the weekend, his Round of 16 appointment made it SIX World Cup matches — level with Arthur Ellis and Howard Webb as the most by any English referee in World Cup history. Ellis did it across three tournaments in the 50s. Webb capped his six with the 2010 final. Oliver's done it in just two World Cups — and this tournament isn't over yet. One more appointment and the record is his alone. 👀 Who's the greatest English referee at a World Cup? Drop your pick below 👇 📲 Track your own matches like the pros — download REFSIX, link in bio.

Partnership Announcement | REFSIX x @TheRefStop We’re excited to announce our new partnership with The Ref Stop – the go-to destination for referee kit and equipment in the UK. At REFSIX, we build technology to help referees track, analyse and improve their performance. But we know great officiating starts with being properly equipped. That’s where The Ref Stop comes in. Together, we’re connecting match officials with everything they need to succeed – from the kit you wear on matchday to the data that helps you develop long after the final whistle

@Alexrose90 There will be a separate video coming soon specifically on that topic as it’s still a pilot and not being implemented in every county.

@refsix No mention of change 7 in the short video on the longer YouTube video

Katia García 🇲🇽 will become the third female referee to officiate a Men’s World Cup match when she takes to the field for the game between the Tunisia and Netherlands. Good Luck Katia 👏

@refsix U forgot Guilhermo Pacheco with the big smile like this 😁

It didn’t last long, but it was great. Petition to bring it back? ✍️ #VAR

The finalists aren't confirmed... but the referee's kit might already be. 👀 Leaked strips reportedly prepared for the 2026 World Cup final — three colourways so the officials don't clash with whoever makes it: 🖤 Black / gold trim
🤍 White / gold trim
💛 Gold / black trim That gold trim = final-only. 🫡 Which one are you picking? #WorldCup2026 #WorldCupFinal

A referee shirt you’ll never see again. 👀✨ For the 1,000th match in World Cup history (Tunisia 🇹🇳 v Japan 🇯🇵), adidas made a one-off: 🥇 Gold sleeve stripes + gold logo 🏆 Exclusive “MATCH 1000” trophy patch 👕 Worn once, by 3 officials, never again Collina handed it to István Kovács himself. Most collectible kit of the tournament? 🫡 #WorldCup2026 #Match1000

Ivan Barton. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Three stripes. Red, white & blue. 🇺🇸 That’s not the standard FIFA referee kit. For Czechia 🇨🇿 v South Africa 🇿🇦, Tori Penso, Brooke Mayo & Kathryn Nesbitt wore a custom design — bold red, white & blue stripes — marking the first all-American female trio to officiate a men’s World Cup match. 🫡 A kit you only earn by making history. #WorldCup2026

Only two. Ever. HERstory Frappart in 2022. Penso in 2026. Football history, right here. 👏

Quite possibly the most unusual sponsorship at this World Cup. 🤔 Rexona — a global deodorant brand and official FIFA World Cup partner — have their logo on the 4th official’s substitution boards. But look closer… it’s right under the arms. That’s right. Every time the board goes up, Rexona’s logo flashes from the 4th official’s armpits. Deodorant brand. Armpit placement. On the biggest stage in football. Crazy or Genius?

Trailblazer Tatiana Guzmán 🇳🇮 becomes the first woman to serve as a VAR at a Men’s World Cup 👏#wc2026

Alireza Faghani officiates in his 4th World Cup as he takes the whistle for the France vs Senegal match. He joins Juan Pablo Belatti, who ran the line in the Canada vs Bosnia match, as the only officials to officiate at 4 Men’s World Cups. Some achievement. 👏

Not your average match day kit. 🩷 FIFA officials pay tribute to their host city for Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia This is a tribute to Miami and arguably the best kit on the pitch today.

Three red cards in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup. 🟥 That’s just one fewer than were shown across the entire 2022 tournament, and the most ever in a World Cup opener. 😯 Big stage. Big moments. Big decisions. The standard has been set early for match officials this summer. 🏆

It’s time. 🏆 Wilton Sampaio 🇧🇷 is given the honour of kicking off the first match at this year’s World Cup in Mexico City between co-hosts Mexico 🇲🇽 and South Africa 🇿🇦. This is his 5th game at a WC finals following 4 in Qatar last time out.
