Wales vs England takes place in the 2022 World Cup on Tuesday. Here are the confirmed match officials for the Group B fixture.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing display in their second group game against United States on Friday, which ended 0-0.

England provided little in the way of goalscoring threat, and were fortunate not to concede through Christian Pulisic's effort, which crashed off the crossbar.

But they are all but guaranteed to qualify from Group B, even with a defeat against Wales. If that result happens, England can only miss out if USA defeat Iran and Wales beat them by four goals or more.

Rob Page's side know that only a win will give them any chance of qualifying for the knockout stages following their 2-0 defeat to Iran.

But, barring the above scenario, a win would require the other result to go their way too, with an Iran win over USA definitely knocking them out.

Here are the officials who will be taking charge of the crunch Group B clash.

Wales vs England: Who is the referee, and who are the other match officials?

Wales vs England will be officiated by Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic.

He has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2010, and regularly officiates high-profile European matches.

Vincic took charge of the 2022 Europa League final between Frankfurt and Rangers, as well as last season's Champions League quarter-final second leg tie between Bayern Munich and Villarreal.

He is Slovenia's sole refereeing representative at this year's World Cup, and officiated Argentina's shock 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia in Group C.

As per WhoScored, he has takeh charge of 12 recorded matches this season, including four Champions League ties. He has given out 47 yellow cards and two red cards.
