The International Football Federation (FIFA) has announced the name of the referee who will officiate the match between Real Madrid and Saudi Al-Hilal, scheduled for next Wednesday as part of the opening round of the group stage in the Club World Cup.

FIFA has chosen Argentine referee Facundo Tello to lead this significant match, a step that indicates a desire to ensure disciplined and professional officiating for the anticipated game awaited by football fans around the world.

Facundo will be assisted in managing the match by Juan Pablo Belatti and Gabriel Chade, both well-known names in Argentine officiating, making the refereeing team cohesive and experienced in dealing with the atmosphere of major matches.

Notably, Facundo has never officiated any match for Real Madrid, while he has only managed one match for Saudi Al-Hilal, in which the blue team emerged victorious, which may bring some optimism to Saudi fans.

This match comes as part of the intense competitions witnessed in the tournament, and there is an expectation that the pressure will be high on the refereeing team, amidst great anticipation for Facundo's performance in his first experience with a Spanish giant like Real Madrid.
