AFC Protests FIFA Referee Change

Written: 2005-05-25 18:38:28Updated: 0000-00-00 00:00:00

The Asian Football Confederation is demanding that FIFA reconsider its referee switch for a World Cup qualifier between North Korea and Japan.

Soccer's world governing body has recently replaced the Singaporean referee for the game with a Belgian. The June 8th match in Bangkok, Thailand, will have no spectators.

In a strongly-worded letter to FIFA, the confederation threatened a boycott of the game if a non-Asian referee is used.
