Appointments

 

Despite appointing a fourth official in all World Cup finals games since (at least) 1974, FIFA only started officially listing them in the public appointments at USA 1994. At this tournament, the role was mostly performed by the Mexican FIFA list referees who made up a six-strong support group of officials. 
 

In addition, the order in which linesman were formally reported at this tournament (linesman no.1 with the yellow flag; no.2 with the red) is not always correct.

So, please find below the correct appointments for all matches, including the reserve linesmen (fourth officials). All times local (UTC-6), Mexican support officials denoted with italics when concerning their origin.
