After Daniele Orsato (2020) and Felix Brych (2021), Polish referee Szymon Marciniak is crowned by IFFHS as the world’s best referee in 2022. He dominated the ranking with 150 points, much more than Italian Daniele Orsato (65) and French Clement Turpin (40). Marciniak became the first Polish referee to take charge of a World Cup Final, just one year after he was forced to miss the Euro due to some health issues. (Source: IFFHS)
