Benito Archundia

Benito Armando Archundia Téllez (born March 21, 1966) is a Mexican former football referee.

Archundia is the all-time leader in appearances at the FIFA World Cup, being one of only two referees who have been appointed for 8 matches, the other being Joël Quiniou.

He originally planned to retire at the end of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but decided to continue for at least another year.

He was the referee in the grand opening of the Estadio Omnilife, which featured Guadalajara vs Manchester United.

Archundia made his first World Cup appearance in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and refereed a total of five matches, equaling the most matches by an individual referee (along with Argentina's Horacio Elizondo).
