Marciniak on 2026 World Cup: "There Is Some Disappointment, But That's Our Fate"

Polish referee Szymon Marciniak published a video summarising his participation in the 2026 World Cup. He acknowledged feeling some disappointment, as fans had hoped he would be selected to officiate a semi-final or the final, but FIFA ultimately chose otherwise. "Of course there is some disappointment, but that's our fate," Marciniak said, accepting the governing body's decision.
