       List of appointed FIFA Match Officials:

       The FIFA Referees Committee has announced the match officials
       who will be in charge at the forthcoming FIFA Club World Cup
       Qatar 2020™.
       Seven referees and 12 assistant referees have been selected for
       the tournament and, together with them, FIFA has also selected
       seven video match officials (VMOs) to operate the VAR during the
       tournament.
       The appointment of the female trio led by Edina Alves Batista
       continue the path started at the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017,
       where Swiss referee Esther Staubli officiated one game, followed
       by Uruguayan referee Claudia Umpierrez who officiated two games
       at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019.
       All of the selected match officials will complete their final
       preparations in Qatar the week before the first match kicks off.
       In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, FIFA and the host country
       will provide the required safeguards to protect the health and
       safety of all involved in the competition.
       The draw to finalise the detailed pairings will take place in
       Zurich on 19 January at 16:00 CET.
       The FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020™ will take place in Doha
       between 1 and 11 February 2021. The final will be played at the
       Education City Stadium on 11 February.

       Interesting possibilities for the remaining appointments. Given
       that there are 7 referees & 7 games, will FIFA be "brave" enough
       to appoint the female trio to a meaningful game - my fear is
       that they'll be appointed to the 5th/6th game but I would hope
       that FIFA will appoint them to the Bayern Munich "semi". There
       have been snide comments in other forums about the
       competence/ability of the Tahiti referee who apparently referees
       mainly in lower levels of the French league system - so perhaps
       he'll be assigned to 4th official duties & one referee will end
       up with 2 games.
       Assuming that FIFA appoint from "neutral" federations &/or
       ensure that no referee meets the same team twice, I predict
       after the initial appointments of Mex v Kor - URU & EGY v QAT -
       GUA the games will be
       loser of MEX/KOR v loser of EGY/QAT (5th v 6th) - TAH
       BRZ v winner of MEX/KOR - NED
       GER v winner of EGY/QAT - BRZ
       3rd place - SEN
       Final - UAE
       I'm sure that there'll be political games behind the scenes!
       (nearly all) the games will be live on BBC1.

       If FIFA remain with usual convention then I think your
       predictions will be spot on.
       None of the referees is that well known (outside their own
       confederation) so an opportunity for all.
       In some ways you would like to see the Asian/African officials
       used on the Semi Finals but as it is so often that the South
       American and European teams make the final, it makes sense to
       use their officials in the SFs.
       Can hardly appoint on merit if your first game is the 3rd place
       play off!

       During last edition, the Qatari referee Al-Jassim handled the
       final without any previous game :) All politics!

       I think that FIFA is already brave enough to appoint the female
       trio to a men's tournament. She should be appointed to the 5th
       place match as a safe choice. And honestly after seeing her on
       the WWC on 2019, I believe that 5th game match is the only
       option.
