Daniel Siebert celebrates his premiere at a football World Cup on Saturday. The FIFA referee will officiate the match between Tunisia and Australia.
The 38-year-old gets his first appearance on the second day of the game. For Siebert it is the first participation in a world championship, last year he already officiated three games at the European championship.
He made a solid impression in the Euro group matches between Scotland and the Czech Republic, Sweden and Slovakia and the match between Wales and Denmark in the round of 16.
