El juez de 44 a\u00f1os llega al compromiso tras completar una destacada actuaci\u00f3n durante el certamen y vuelve a estar en el centro de la escena en una instancia decisiva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nacido el 3 de marzo de 1982 en Casablanca, Marruecos, Elfath emigr\u00f3 junto a su familia a Estados Unidos durante su adolescencia y desarroll\u00f3 all\u00ed toda su carrera arbitral. Es internacional FIFA desde 2016 y desde hace varios a\u00f1os integra el grupo de los principales \u00e1rbitros de la Major League Soccer (MLS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En el Mundial 2026 ya estuvo al frente de tres partidos. Debut\u00f3 en la fase de grupos dirigiendo el empate entre <strong>Pa\u00edses Bajos y Jap\u00f3n<\/strong>, luego imparti\u00f3 justicia en el encuentro entre <strong>Uruguay y Espa\u00f1a<\/strong>, y m\u00e1s tarde fue designado para el duelo de octavos de final en el que <strong>Noruega dio la sorpresa al eliminar a Brasil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Su rendimiento en esos compromisos convenci\u00f3 a la Comisi\u00f3n de \u00c1rbitros de la FIFA, que decidi\u00f3 confiarle ahora la conducci\u00f3n de una de las dos semifinales del campeonato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elfath no es un desconocido en las Copas del Mundo. En <strong>Qatar 2022<\/strong> arbitr\u00f3 los encuentros <strong>Portugal-Ghana<\/strong>, <strong>Camer\u00fan-Brasil<\/strong> y el octavo de final entre <strong>Jap\u00f3n y Croacia<\/strong>, que se defini\u00f3 por penales. Adem\u00e1s, fue el <strong>cuarto \u00e1rbitro de la final<\/strong> que Argentina le gan\u00f3 a Francia para conquistar su tercera estrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Con amplia experiencia en competiciones organizadas por FIFA y CONCACAF, el estadounidense tendr\u00e1 ahora la responsabilidad de conducir un partido de m\u00e1xima exigencia, en el que Argentina e Inglaterra buscar\u00e1n un lugar en la gran final del Mundial 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El estadounidense de origen marroqu\u00ed fue designado por la FIFA para impartir justicia en uno de los partidos m\u00e1s importantes del Mundial 2026.
