Erik Fredriksson is a former Swedish football referee. He officiated four World Cup games: Yugoslavia v Northern Ireland in 1982; Italy v Bulgaria and USSR v Belgium in 1986; and Argentina v USSR in 1990. Fredriksson's handling of the latter match caused controversy due to his failure to see Diego Maradona punching a goal-bound Soviet header off the line when the score was still goalless. The USSR eventually lost the game 2-0, and were so incensed at Fredriksson's refereeing that they made a formal protest to FIFA in Rome the following day. Fredriksson also refereed the Euro 84 first-round tie between Belgium and Yugoslavia in Lens.
