Geneva – Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, who was in controversy for collaborating with a far-right leader, has apologized. European football’s governing body (Uefa) accepted the apology and announced that Marciniak will officiate the Champions League final on June 10. Marciniak, who refereed the Argentina-France 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, was praised for his composure in controlling the exciting match. This is 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
