The 37-year-old made his World Cup finals debut with Ghana's group stage match against Panama and later he was also in charge of the match between Curaçao and Ivory Coast.

The next World Cup assignment in North America will be in Los Angeles, where Spain faces Austria on Thursday at 9:00 p.m.

For the Austrians, it's bad news. According to the APA news agency, the national team has not won any of the matches that Nyberg has refereed: 1–1 against Slovenia in 2024 and 2–3 against Romania in 2020. Austria has also been without victories at club level.
