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.

Since arriving the scene, the 33-year-old in 2016, has issued 11 cautions in 10 international matches.
