81 officials appointed for FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar
The refereeing committee of the International Football Association (FIFA) announced the list of referees and assistant referees who will officiate matches at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup Qatar 2026, scheduled to take place from November 19 to December 13. The list includes 81 officials—referees and assistant referees—from 36 national football associations, with two female referee teams aimed at enhancing opportunities for female referees in international tournaments. All matches—part of a total of 104 games involving 48 teams—will be held at the Aspire Zone, with the final hosted at Khalifa International Stadium. The tournament's organization aims to deliver a high standard of refereeing and to test the Video Assistant System (FVS), which proved effective last year, to support referee decisions and improve the overall quality of officiating worldwide.
