The IFF Referee Committee has made the observer and referee nominations for the upcoming Women’s WFC 2023 to be played in Singapore in December. 

There are four observers and seven referee pairs from five different countries, a mix of newcomers as well as vast experience of major IFF events.

– It was quite easy this time to make the nominations and to create a good and professional team for both referees and observers. Even though it might sometime be a puzzle to build the package it worked quite well this time, says Mr. Carlos Lopez, the Chair of the IFF Referee Committee.

– I’m sure that the team will make its utmost best in the tournament and we will have a great event in Singapore, he adds.
