NEW YORK - American Mark Geiger has been chosen to referee Saturday's final of the Under-20 World Cup between Brazil and Portugal in Bogota, Colombia, on Saturday, and then will return to officiate Comunicaciones vs. Herediano next week in Round 2 of the CONCACAF Champions League.

The 36-year-old Geiger, an eight-year veteran of U.S. Major League Soccer and in his fourth season as a Champions League referee, has officiated three games at the U-20 World Cup, including the second-round match between Spain and South Korea.

CONCACAF linesmen Mark Hurd of the United States and Joe Fletcher of Canada will be his assistant referees in the U-20 title match.

Geiger heads the list of Round 2 referees for the Champions League. Elmar Rodas of Guatemala will referee the Mexico-U.S. clash between defending champion Monterrey and the Seattle Sounders, while Javier Santos of Puerto Rico will officiate the all-MLS clash between Toronto and FC Dallas.
