Silva to officiate

New Delhi: India may not have qualified for the Asian Cup but at least one Indian, referee Benjamin Silva, will be seen in action in the premier continental football meet.

Silva has been selected as one of the 22 assistant referees for the showpiece event to be held from this Saturday to 29 in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The final list was confirmed after the mandatory fitness test on the probables on Monday which found two assistant referees — U. Kway Win of Myanmar and Mohamed Ibrahim Ali of Qatar — unfit and they will not be part of the extravaganza.

There will be no replacements for the two assistant referees. Silva is a Fifa referee hailing from Goa.
