Marcel Slawick

Marcel Slawick was a French football referee during the 1920s; born in Paris France on February 13, 1877.^[1]

Slawick twice refereed the French Cup Final (in 1921 and 1925), but is perhaps most well-known for being the referee at the 1924 Olympic Football final between Switzerland and the eventual winners Uruguay.^[2]. His selection for the final came about because of the controversy surrounding the semi-final victory by the Uruguayans over the Dutch. The second half penalty which won the game for the South Americans was bitterly contested by the Dutch and the Uruguayans disputed the selection of Johannes Mutters as the match referee in the final. As a result Slawick's name was drawn out of a hat.^[3]

Slawick refereed four games in the Olympics between 1924 and 1928. He died on August 19, 1976.^[1]
