Honduran referee Héctor Saíd Martínez Sorto made history on June 13, 2026, by officiating his first FIFA World Cup match as a central referee. Martínez, originally from Tocoa, Honduras, was the first referee from his country to take charge of a World Cup game. He notably awarded the tournament's first penalty during this match. Previously, Martínez served as an assistant referee in nine matches during the Qatar 2022 World Cup. His promotion to central referee signifies a significant achievement in his career. The match marked a proud moment for Honduran football officiating.
This marks a significant milestone for Honduran football and highlights the growing international recognition of referees from smaller footballing nations.
