Aussie gets to ref Asia Cup Final

Mark Shield sets the standard


AUSSIE REFEREE APPOINTED TO AFC ASIAN CUP FINAL


Australian referee Mark Shield will add another prestigious honour to his lengthy tally of international appointments after it was announced that 33-year-old will control tomorrow’s AFC Asian Cup Final between Iraq and Saudi Arabia in Jakarta.

The Brisbane-based Shield has already refereed four previous matches in the tournament - Korea Republic vs Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia vs Indonesia, Indonesia vs Korea Republic (all group stage matches) and Iran vs Korea Republic (quarterfinal).

Great to see one Aussie in the Asian Cup Final. Well done Mark Shield.
