Szymon Marciniak (POL) to officiate 2018 UEFA Super Cup

Marciniak set to referee match in Tallinn, Estonia, which will see UEFA Champions League title holders Real Madrid CF play UEFA Europa League winners Club Atlético de Madrid.

Full Polish refereeing team to oversee UEFA Super Cup in Tallinn

Polish referee Szymon Marciniak has been appointed to take charge of the 2018 UEFA Super Cup match between Real Madrid CF and Club Atlético de Madrid, which will be played at the Lilleküla Stadium in Tallinn, Estonia on 15 August kicking-off at 21.00CET (22.00 local time).

The 37-year-old from Płock will be accompanied by five compatriots: assistant referees Pawel Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz, additional assistant referees Pawel Raczkowski and Tomasz Musiał, and reserve official Radoslaw Siejka. Romania's Ovidiu Alin Hategan will act as the fourth official.

An international referee since 2011, Marciniak has taken charge of 58 UEFA matches. He officiated four UEFA Champions League matches in the 2017/18 season, including the round of 16 second leg encounter between Tottenham Hotspur FC and Juventus.

Last season, he was named as the fourth official for the UEFA Europa League final in Lyon, which saw Club Atlético de Madrid defeat Olympique de Marseille. He was also the fourth official for the 2016 UEFA Super Cup in Trondheim, where Real Madrid CF overcame Sevilla FC.

    So, this should be the first appointment made by Rosetti, on the paper, but for sure, given the very short time he had, this was very likely decided by the rest of the committee.
    If we consider the whole international career of Marciniak so far in recent years, the appointment is deserved. However, if you ask me, it doesn't come in the best moment for the Polish. I was for this reason not sure about this choice. I hope that he can recover and it would be nice to see the "old" Marciniak we knew.
    Also, it will be important to know whether this appointment will impede him from getting a final on this season (EL?), maybe Rosetti will make different choices...

      I think this is the perfect match for Marciniak to regain form for the upcoming season... The 15000 capacity stadium provides an ideal setting too!

      He'll either "regain" or further dig himself into the abyss he solely put himself in last season and at the World Cup.

    Risky appointment.

    Marciniak has developed a lot these last 2 seasons but I fear that his form atm isn't the ideal one.

    i have never thought that they can give marciniak super-cup final, after all his faults. Unvelievable. Rossetti typical.

    2. Mark2 August 2018 at 21:04

      Probably the choice has been done by the committee, not by Rosetti, who maybe just approved... he will do his first appointments in EL and CL.

      There are very good options like cakir, brych and turpin. Marciniak should wait couple of years. His highest appointment until now was cl second round. After that game no indication of any good performance and suddenly in the middle of super cup final. Really interesting.

  5. Philipp S2 August 2018 at 21:19

    As we discussed some weeks ago, the decision was probably between Marciniak and Turpin, as normally Supercups are given to referees without previous CL or EL final.
    Main arguments in favour of Marciniak are:
    - more experience with top clashes on UEFA level
    - Turpin had some trouble with Atletico last season

    I also think, that Marciniak's World Cup was not too bad. Besides the two very debatable/wrong no penalty decisions, he showed two good or even very good performances in my opinion with good match control and other important decisions correctly taken.

      With this appointment I think Turpin is 1st choice for ELfinal in case of good season of course.

    2. Nathan M.2 August 2018 at 21:34

      Anyway I think It was really hard to appointed Turpin for this game while Simeone is still suspended

      I mean it may be too early, he will referee Atlético de Madrid again but not in a final straight away

      Its maybe To quick and all depends of performances but we can make a list of referee for CL-EL final before the season

    2. Chefren2 August 2018 at 23:22

      Very often we bring a bad luck to the referees we mention as candidates for a final... :)
      But yes, there are always some lists.
      And I think Turpin will be a very strong option for EL final in case of good performances and withou French teams.
      For CL final, well, this time, better to keep silence. I don't want to mention again a name!

      @WCReferee Rocchi should leave the FIFA list on December, he is already 45.

    8. Nathan M.3 August 2018 at 09:20

      Skomina seems the only neutral option, maybe Mateu if there is no spanish team

    9. Mark3 August 2018 at 09:46

      Really difficult to not see spanish team. For me Rocchi will continue his international career until the next June, because I remember you that since some years a referee cpul continue also after 45 years, like Atkinson have done.

      Nonsense talk now about finals UCL and UEL

    11. Andrasch Neunert4 August 2018 at 14:01

      Alberto, I am VERY sure we will have to face so many surprises in EL and CL that this talk about final-options makes only sense if we take a deep look in an esoteric crystal glass. But I don't have one. So I stay away from those senseless guessings... let us all wait for the new style Rosetti will bring into the Cups. I think he will take more risks and give young talents big chances earlier to have more options in the last k.o.rounds. Last year was really too bad in this aspect to just continue as if nothing has happened.
