FIFA has appointed an Argentine refereeing quartet to officiate the intercontinental playoff final between DR Congo and Jamaica this Tuesday, March 31, in Mexico. Facundo Tello will take charge as the central referee in the heart of the action.

Facundo Tello will be the main official for the crucial clash between DR Congo and Jamaica, with a ticket to the 2026 World Cup on the line. Drawing on his experience from South American and international competitions, Tello faces the task of managing a high-stakes encounter between two sides desperate to secure their place on the world stage.

He will be assisted on the lines by Juan Pablo Belatti and Gabriel Chade, while Dario Herrera will serve as the fourth official, ready to step in if needed. The entire Argentine team will be tasked with ensuring a fair and fluid contest in what promises to be a high-voltage showdown.
