Posted Saturday, July 12, 2014 by YAHOO Sport

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- FIFA officials say Nicola Rizzoli of Italy will referee the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina.

With a European and South American team playing, many had expected FIFA to appoint an Asian referee for Sunday's game. However, Jim Boyce, the chairman of the FIFA's refereeing committee, says ''we choose the best referees for the best matches, and the Italian will referee the final.''

Massimo Busacca, head of refereeing for FIFA, confirmed that Rizzoli will be in charge of the match. FIFA had not yet made an official announcement.

Rizzoli also worked the 2013 Champions League final.
