The MLS Cup Final is obviously a showcase of two of the best teams in the league, but it’s also an opportunity for the best referees to be shown off as well. This year the award for best ref in MLS went to Allen Chapman, and it looks like he will be rewarded with the center referee gig for the final. He’ll be joined by assistant referees Brian Dunn and Corey Rockwell; fourth official Rubiel Vazquez; VAR referee Edvin Jurisevic and assistant VAR officials Cameron Blanchard and Brian Poeschel.
Chapman has refereed two Seattle Sounders games this season.
