Good is equivalent to achieving a victory in the World Cup.

International referee Jalal Jaid has matched the historic record of the late Said Belqola by reaching his third match as the main referee in the ongoing World Cup held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, becoming the second Moroccan referee to achieve this milestone in the tournament's history.

Jaid officiated his first match in the tournament between Germany and Curacao, which ended with a victory for the German team with a score of (7-1), before leading the second match between Portugal and Uzbekistan, which ended with a win for the Portuguese (5-0). He then earned the trust of the referees' committee of the International Football Federation "FIFA" to officiate the match between Germany and Paraguay in the Round of 32, reaching his third appointment in the current edition, a number that is likely to increase as the tournament continues.

With this appointment, Jaid has equaled the achievement of the late Said Belqola in the 1998 World Cup in France, when he officiated three matches; the first between Germany and the United States, which ended with a 2-0 victory for the Germans, the second between Argentina and Croatia, which ended with a 1-0 win for the Argentinians, before leading the historic final match in which France won the title after defeating Brazil 3-0, becoming the first African referee to officiate a World Cup final.

Today, Jalal Jaid is just one match away from becoming the Moroccan referee with the most matches officiated in World Cup history, as any new appointment for him in the upcoming rounds would make him the record holder, surpassing the achievement that has been held by Said Belqola since 1998.

It is worth noting that Jaid is among a group of Moroccan referees participating in the World Cup, alongside Zakaria Brinsi and Mustafa Akrakad as assistants, while Hamza Al-Farq has been selected among the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) officials.
