For the function field K of a curve over a finite full constant field k, extend constants to k. The resulting curve function field is C1​ by the Tsen theorem, so every central simple algebra splits there. The finite collection of coefficients of a splitting isomorphism descends to some finite constant extension k′/k. Regularity makes Kk′/K cyclic, giving a finite cyclic splitting field.
