The “collegiate” who comes from directing the match in which France beat Denmark 2-1 for the second date of Group D, will have his compatriot Tomasz Kwiatkowski in the VAR.
The rest of the refereeing shortlist will be his compatriots Pawel Soklnicki and Tomasz Tistkiewicz, and the fourth man will be the Frenchman Benoit Millot.
Marciniak, 41, who made his debut in Poland’s top division in 2009 before becoming a judge, played for Wisla Plock but switched to refereeing after being sent off.
On that occasion, he argued with the match judge, who challenged him to do the job himself, his brother is also a referee and controlled first and second division matches in Poland.
In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, he led the debut of the Argentine team in a 1-1 draw against Iceland, in Group D.
Argentina and Australia will play next Saturday from 4:00 p.m. (our country’s time) for the round of 16 of the World Cup at the Ahmed Bin Ali stadium, Al Rayyan.
