Spain, the winners of Euro 2008 and 2012, play the Czech Republic in Toulouse. The game starts at 3pm CET.
Marciniak will be assisted by Polish linesmen Paweł Sokolnicki and Tomasz Listkiewicz.
Poland beat Northern Ireland 1:0 on Sunday in their opening game of the Euro 2016 championship in France. The Poles' victory was their first ever in a Euro tournament.
Meanwhile, UEFA, the governing body of European football, has warned that England and Russia could be kicked out of Euro 2016 if further hooliganism involving their fans mars the tournament. (pk)
