Posted by The FIFA Referees Committee has selected 27 referees and 48 assistant referees representing 42 different countries to officiate at the next year FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 with no Nigerian match official making the list.
However, seven match officials from Africa will officiate in the tournament, according to a statement on FIFA's official website.
Ethiopia's Lidya Tafesse Abebe, Zambia's Gladys Lengwe and Rwandan Mukansanga Salima are the selected referees from Africa, while Bernadettar Kwimbira (Malawi), Mary Njoroge (Kenya), Lidwine Rakotozafinoro (Madagascar) and Victoire Queency are the shortlisted assistant referees.
The omission of Nigerian referees from important competitions is no longer a new thing.
FIFA had earlier omitted Nigerian referees and assistant referees from the selected 36 referees and 63 assistant referees that officiated at the 2018 FIFA Men's World Cup in Russia, so also the 15 referees and 30 assistant referees that handled FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup recently held in France.
Nigeria, who are the African champions, south Africa and Cameroon are the three African nations that qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019.
The FIFA Women's World Cup France 2019 will be played from 7 June to 7 July in Grenoble, Le Havre, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Paris, Reims, Rennes and Valenciennes. The final will take place in Lyon on Sunday, 7 July 2019.
