According to the "Football" newspaper Weibo report, Chinese referees such as Ma Ning and Fu Ming are expected to participate in the law enforcement work of the Qatar World Cup finals next year.
On September 13, the AFC Champions League quarter-finals will reignite as Manin and four other Chinese referees travel to the United Arab Emirates to enforce the west Asian region of Tehran, Iran, (home in Dubai) against the New Moon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He and Fu Ming, shouldering the heavy responsibility of Chinese referees to enter the World Cup, in the eyes of the outside world, their hopes are slightly greater than the hopes of the men's football team to break through, and their time is still about a year.
In 2019, Manin and Fu Ming became FIFA's elite referees at the same time, participating in the Doha RefereeIng Seminar, taking the first step into Qatar. At that time, the AFC recommended a total of 13 referees (excluding assistant referees), including 7 referees and 6 video assistant referees, and Fu Ming was selected as a video assistant referee.
In the first two rounds of the just-concluded Round of 12, Manin, as the referee, has successively enforced the first round of the UAE 0-0 Lebanon and the second round of Iraq 0-3 Iran matches, of which, in the first round, Shi Xiang and Cao Yi (assistant referees), Zhang Lei (fourth official), Fu Ming (video assistant referee) from China cooperated with Maning's law enforcement; in the second round, in addition to Fu Ming replaced by Hassan, the other three still served as Maning's assistant. Judging from the feedback from the AFC, Manin's law enforcement has been recognized and praised, and this has also added a certain weight to his impact on the World Cup.
As for Fu Ming, if he wants to impact the World Cup, his identity can only be video assistant referee (VAR) and assistant video assistant referee (AVAR), in this World Preliminary Tournament, Fu Ming as the referee of 4 matches, and in the AFC Champions League, in April this year, Fu Ming also traveled to the United Arab Emirates to enforce the group stage Ofian 1-1 Sharjah match, and also served as the fourth official of 3 group matches. Fu Ming's focus this year is actually the Tokyo Olympic Games, and he has participated in many competitions as a video assistant referee and an assistant video referee, which has been well received.
