Chinese referee appointed for Uzbekistan vs Qatar match

On June 10, Uzbekistan’s national football team will play its final World Cup qualifying match against Qatar, reports UPL. The match will be held in Uzbekistan and carries no tournament value for the hosts, who have already secured a spot at the World Cup following their win over the UAE.

The home game is expected to be a festive occasion, with players and fans celebrating qualification together.

For Qatar, however, the match is crucial — they need a victory to claim third place and continue their qualification hopes.

The game will be officiated by Chinese referee Ma Ning, who has been appointed as the main official. He will oversee the match, which is likely to be intense given Qatar’s need to win and outpace the UAE. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
