Natalie Simon, Kali Smith and Katarzyna Wasiak have been selected to officiate the 2026 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup Final between Japan and Nigeria on Saturday.

The game, at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Rabat, Morocco, will kick off at 12:30pm ET.

This will be the fourth game of the tournament for the trio, who previously took charge of the group-stage games between Argentina and New Zealand, and Venezuela and Japan, as well as the quarterfinal between China PR and Brazil.

Between them, they have worked a further six games as either fourth official or reserve assistant referee.

Mark Geiger, PRO’s General Manager, said: “Being assigned to a World Cup final is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the quality and professionalism of Natalie, Kali and Katarzyna.

“They have performed at a consistently high level throughout the tournament, and being trusted with four games, including the quarterfinal and now the final, reflects the standard they have set for themselves and the confidence FIFA has in them.

“Everyone at PRO is behind them as they take the field on Saturday.”
