World Football governing body, FIFA has appointed Japanese Referee Yoshimi Yamashita for today’s round of 16 fixture between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and Germany at the FIFA Women’s World Cup currently on in France.
Nicknamed Iron Lady for her no-nonsense style of officiating, Yamashita had previously served in that capacity once at this competition.
Since arriving the scene, the 33-year-old in 2016, has issued 11 cautions in 10 international matches.
She made history this year as part of the first all-female trio to officiate a men’s match in Asian continental competition.
Yamashita will be assisted by her compatriots Naomi Teshirogi, Makoto Bozono and fourth official Casey Reibelt from Australia
