Moroccan international referee Jalal Jaid is preparing to make history by leading his first match in the 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This milestone represents a significant step in his refereeing career and confirms the high level of competence he possesses.
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has assigned a fully Moroccan refereeing team to manage the highly anticipated match between Germany and Curaçao, as part of the opening round of the group stage.
This team is led by referee Jalal Jaid, assisted by his compatriots Zakaria Brinsi and Mustafa Akrkad as assistant referees, highlighting global confidence in Moroccan refereeing.
The refereeing team for this important match will be completed with the presence of South African referee Abongili, who will be responsible for the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) room, ensuring the highest levels of justice and accuracy in refereeing decisions during the match led by Jalal Jaid.
The match is scheduled to take place next Sunday at 6:00 PM Moroccan time. Football fans await this event with great enthusiasm, as it represents a turning point for referee Jalal Jaid and for Arab and African refereeing in this premier football tournament.
