The FIFA Referees Committee announced the selection of an Emirati referee team, led by international Mohamed Abdullah Hassan, and international assistant referees, Mohamed Ahmed Youssef and Hassan Mohamed Al-Mahri, among the match referees teams selected for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The list included 36 referees, 69 assistant referees, and 24 video referees, in cooperation with the six continental federations.

The selection of the current staff of judges for the Emirates stadiums is the second in a row after Russia 2018, in a new achievement for the Emirati arbitration whistle, which has formed a continuous presence in the “World Cup” since the first participation of the former international referee Ali Bujasim, who is the first Emirati referee to participate in the management of World Cup matches, in three successive copies 1994, 1998, 2002, followed by former assistant international referee Issa Darwish in the 2006 World Cup, and former assistant international referee Saleh Al-Marzouki in South Africa 2010, while the injury prevented the former international referee Ali Hamad and his crew from appearing in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
