FIFA published, this Monday (12), the arbitration which will control the match between France and Morocco, valid for one of the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar. The big news is the presence of Brazilian Neuza Back, who will act as a VAR assistant using the new offside technology. The Brazilian remains highly rated by FIFA and was part of the referee trio for the match between Germany and Costa Rica, the first all-female referee in a men’s World Cup game.
The arbitration France vs Morocco still counts on the Mexican César Ramos, present during the victory of the African country over Belgium, still during the group stage. The Mexicans Alberto Morin and Miguel Hernández also complete the main trio of the important match. Neuza Back will play alongside Canadian Drew Fischer, Colombian Nicolas Gallo and American Armando Villarreal, also scheduled on the VAR stand.

Neuza Back put in a performance deemed fairly safe in Germany’s 4-2 win over Costa Rica on 1 December. On this occasion, the French Stéphanie Frappart was the main referee and the Mexican Karen Medina the other assistant. Despite the good performances, Fifa no longer opted for the composition of the women’s trio in this World Cup.
Besides the match between France and Morocco, Fifa has also confirmed the arbitration that will lead Argentina against Croatia, in the other semi-final. The trio will be Italian, with Daniele Orsato as main referee. In the VAR stand there is a South American, which in this case is the Venezuelan Juan Soto.
