Makkelie also active in England – Croatia 2018 World Cup

Danny Makkelie serves in the duel as a video referee in the FIFA Control Room in Moscow ("VAR Room"). On Monday, FIFA announced that Bjorn Kuipers was the fourth official on the field, with Sander van Roekel as the first reserve for line judges. The match is led by the Turkish Arbitration Team of Cüneyt Çakir.

Team-Kuipers, according to observers, still have a small chance at the World Cup final on Sunday in Moscow. The Dutch corps would still be running for the third place duel, a day earlier in St. Petersburg. The fact that neighboring Belgium, after the defeat against France in the first semifinal, could play in bronze, may be a disadvantage for Team-Kuipers.

Kuipers was up to four World Cup matches in Russia as an active referee. the field: Sweden – England (quarter-finals), Russia – Spain (round of 16), Egypt – Uruguay and Brazil – Costa Rica (group phase)
