Geneva – The referee from Poland, Szymon Marciniak, who argued about collaborating with an extreme right-wing leader, has apologised. European football’s governing body (Uefa) accepted the apology and announced that Marciniak would officiate the Champions League final on June 10. Marciniak, who refereed the 2022 Argentina-France World Cup final in Qatar, was praised for his willingness to control the exciting game. That’s why Marciniak (42) was assigned to the Manchester City-Inter Milan Champions League final.
However, Marciniak’s participation in a business event led by Poland’s far-right leader Sławomir Menzen caused controversy. The group ‘Never Again’ filed a complaint with UEFA against Marciniak’s participation in an event by someone who promotes racial hatred.
English Summary: Apologize; Marciniak himself is the referee of the Champions League final
