English football referee Michael Oliver faces obstacles preventing him from officiating the World Cup final scheduled for July in New York. These challenges stem from restrictions related to his nationality and historical events between Britain and Argentina. FIFA regulations prohibit assigning matches to officiating teams composed of officials holding either of the involved countries' nationalities. Additionally, the political crisis connected to the Falklands War of 1982 complicates the situation. It is expected that FIFA's decision will determine Oliver's future early this week, especially since both Argentina and England have advanced to the quarter-finals, which could potentially lead to his exclusion from officiating the final match.
