Sorry, but I have to ask - Is there an official language of the WC?

Ok, I know you guys are just thrilled with all the novice questions popping up on here, but I have to ask this and I will not start any other threads on here.
Is there an official language for the WC?
For example, if a team from a French speaking country is playing a team from an Arabic speaking country and the official(s) are from a Portuguese speaking country, how or in what language do they communicate?
I know a lot of players play in different countries and a decent amount can probably speak more than 1 language. But is one language designated as the official language of a match?
Anyways, sorry if this has already been addressed elsewhere. Just curious how they do this.
TIA.

English is usually the official language. They make the announcements in the stadium in English. I think they just find a way.
Plus the French players probably speak Arabic.

I would assume the common tongue is English unless the ref and players collectively speak one language, which will probably never happen.
