Olympic football referees
By: akwoo Date: July 26, 2021, 2:42 pm

Does anyone know where I can find who is refereeing in Japan. I
have yet to find a single name in tv coverage or match reports.
FIFA said they published a list but it was absent from my
coverage. Does the subject not merit a mention here?

I am most impressed by and very grateful for the answers here.
They provided all the information I was seeking. Thanks.
I was surprised to find no GB refs on he list. Presumably
because we are not taking part? I should have thought our
neutrality would be a bonus. And better than those I have seem
so far!

Why would you automatically assume a GB ref would be there?? The
appointment are done by FIFA. All the male refs are on the list
for the 2022 World Cup.

I don't know who the ref or VAR were but excellent use of VAR to
deny Spain a penalty in the Olympic semi-final v hosts Japan. A
fair tackle by Yoshida resulted in Merino going to ground in the
penalty area and a penalty awarded, but a review confirmed that
the tackle was fair and Merino had gone to ground after
accidentally kicking Yoshida in the follow through. Penalty
cancelled, yellow card withdrawn and smiles seen suggesting that
VAR was correct. Well done VAR!

I know the Aussies come under Asia now but it still pleasing to
see FIFA move away from the norm. I hope they all have great
games
