FIFA have confirmed the appointment of Bahrain official Nawaf Shukralla for Spain’s final World Cup game, against Australia.
The match, which takes place tomorrow, will bring the curtain down on La Roja’s disappointing tournament as the defending champions exit at the group stage.
They play the Aussies with only the chance to avoid finishing bottom of Group B at stake, as Australia have also recorded defeats against Chile and the Netherlands to leave then out of contention.
Shukralla has been a FIFA referee since 2011 and was the fourth official for Spain’s defeat to Chile on Wednesday. He has yet to referee a game at the tournament.
