Romualdo Arppi Filho

Romualdo Arppi Filho (7 January 1939 – 4 March 2023)[1] was a Brazilian football referee. He is mostly known for supervising three matches in the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, including the final rival between Germany and Argentina. Argentina eventually won the game 3–2. He was the second successive Brazilian to referee a World Cup final.
