The AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022 that will take place from January 20 to February 6 gets the biggest-ever cast of talented and experienced women match officials.
A total of 32 match officials, comprising 16 referees and assistant referees from 15 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Member Associations, will take charge in potentially a minimum of 29 matches including the play-offs with the expansion of the showpiece to 12 teams.
AS many as nine match officials were previously appointed to the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019 from the contingent. These included referees China PR’s Qin Liang, Casey Reibelt and Kate Jacewicz of Australia and Japan’s Yoshimi Yamashita and assistant referees Makoto Bozono and Naomi Teshirogi of Japan, Fang Yan of China PR and Kim Kyoung-min and Lee Seul-gi of Korea Republic.
As she is poised for her sixth straight appearance in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup, Kim will be amongst the most experienced match officials followed by her compatriot Lee in her fourth appointment in the tournament.
The trio of Bozono, Yamashita and Teshirogi, will also play their part in the AFC Women’s Asia Cup India 2022. Ranjita Devi Tekcham (Referee), Fernandes Uvena(Assistant Referee) and Rebello Maria Piedade (Technical Instructor) are the three Indians in this contingent of match officials.
To ensure the highest standards of refereeing are maintained at the SFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022, the AFC has organised various workshops and training including VAR courses.
