BERLIN - Horacio Elizondo will be the referee when host Germany plays Costa Rica in the opening match of the 2006 World Cup.
The Argentine was picked to officiate Friday's match in Munich by the FIFA Referees Committee, which met Thursday.
The other 15 referees to work during the first set of games in the opening round were also selected.
Elizondo, a FIFA referee since 1994, officiated his first international match in 1996. The 42-year-old physical education teacher has also worked two Copa America tournaments, a Club World Championship, two World Youth Championships and one Olympic tournament.
