This is never a surprise!
No Referee from England too?
More suprising!!

I am not suprised by their exclusion though, when they keep making wrong calls and wrong decisions week in, week out in the Premier League!

Hope we get to see a fair officiating at the Mundial this time around.
May the best Team win!
I see Bjorn Kuipers refereeing the final match. I hope he doesn't disappoint before then smiley

it isn't anything political or any rough edges between England and Russia. it is simply because English refs are shit. they make the EPL annoying with their week in week out errors. the FA will do something about it now.

World football governing body, FIFA has selected 6 African referees and 10 assistant referees to officiate at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.


A total of 53 FIFA certified referees took part in the selection process which was based on each referee’s skills and personality as well as their level of understanding of football and ability to read both the game and the various tactics employed by the teams but a total of 36 referees and 63 assistants made the final cut.

According to a statement from FIFA official website, preparatory seminars have been organised for referees and assistant referees, with special focus on fair play, players’ protection and the image of the game, as well as consistency and uniformity.

Source: http://hotsportstv.com/fifa-names-6-african-referees-10-assistants-for-world-cup/

The six African referees are; Abid Charef Medhi (Algeria), Diedhiou Malang (Senegal), Gassama Bakary Papa (Gambia), Grisha Ghead (Egypt), Sikazwe Janny (Zambia)

FIFA Referees Committe said the match officials will attend another dedicated seminar for two weeks in the second half of April at the technical centre of the Italian Football Association in Coverciano, Italy. The officials will be divided into two groups, which will also include video assistant referee (VAR) candidates.

The FIFA Referees Committee will then announce the names of the referees selected to act as VARs during the FIFA World Cup. The selection process will take into account the candidate’s VAR experience in domestic leagues, FIFA competitions and FIFA refereeing seminars since the beginning of the VAR project in 2016.

There will be no British referee for the first time since the inception of the World Cup
you funny so much,
so you are expecting FIFA(the world organization) to select somebody from a country that doesn't respect rule of law and have case of human right abuse?

FIFA does not consider such factors sir for refereeing.
Re: No Nigerian Referees As FIFA Select 16 African Officials For 2018 World Cup by bakaredc: 7:09am On Mar 30, 2018
Its simple, the reason why England has no referee is due to the on going diplomatic uproar with Russia(the skripal issue) The British govt had said no member of the Royal family, no govt official is permitted to go to the world cup in russia, there is even still a debate going on in Britain whether they should allow their three lions go to Russia.
Then for Nigerian referees not making it, i wonder why some people here are attaching it with buhari as if we had 10 referees in the last world cup. If u must criticise, do it intellectually.
