Colaboradores
Inter Milan and Fluminense face off in a crucial Club World Cup Round of 16 match this Monday, June 30th, at 4 PM ET. The game takes place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. FIFA has appointed Iván Barton of El Salvador as the referee for this high-stakes duel.
Who is Iván Barton?
Iván Barton is a seasoned referee with extensive experience in major competitions. The Salvadoran officiated at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he was involved in three matches, including Brazil vs. Switzerland.
In this year's Club World Cup, he refereed the match between Flamengo and Chelsea, handing out numerous cards for harsh tackles by the English players, including a red card to Nicolas Jackson after a challenge on Ayrton Lucas.
Barton is known as a disciplinarian referee who allows the game to flow without being overly strict. However, he was also present in a highly tumultuous match between Mexico and the United States in the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League. The game was marred by widespread altercations and four expulsions, and Barton had to prematurely end the match due to homophobic chants from the stands.
His assistants for the Inter Milan vs. Fluminense match will be David Moran and Henry Pupiro, also from El Salvador.
