27 May 2014

The officials, who will referee the Japan National Team’s match against Cyprus in the Kirin Challenge Cup 2014 at Saitama Stadium 2002 on 27 May, held a practice session on the same ground the day before the game.
Comment
PAWEL Raczkowski Referee
I feel very honoured to referee the Japan National Team’s last match in Japan before the FIFA World Cup at Saitama Stadium 2002, which hosted the semifinal in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan.
I expect both teams to play fair.
