Uzbek referee to officiate Vietnam against Saudi Arabia

VOV.VN - Referee Ilgiz Tantashev of Uzbekistan will officiate the Vietnamese national team’s upcoming World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia, according to the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).

Tantashev, 37, is a professional Uzbek referee who has been a licensed FIFA official since 2013. During this time he has refereed some matches in the AFC Champions League, along with taking charge of two matches in Group C of Asian Qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

For the match between Vietnam and Saudi Arabia, Tantashev will be assisted by Tsapenko Adrey and Gaynullin Timur, both of whom are also from Uzbekistan, in addition to Ali Sabah of Qatar as fourth official.

This comes following FIFA also announcing that Adham Makhadmeh of Jordan will be the VAR referee for the fixture. He is a familiar referee to many Vietnamese football fans having previously taken charge of Vietnam’s 4-1 victory against Taiwan (China) during qualifiers for the 2018 AFC  Cup.

Furthermore, the Jordanian referee also took charge of a fixture between Vietnam’s U23 side and Brunei in qualification for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship.

The fixture against Saudi Arabia will be held at 8 p.m. on September 2 (local time), meaning the game will start at midnight on September 3 (Hanoi time).
