Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- Ri Hyang Ok and Hong Kum Nyo, international women football referees from the DPRK, won a high appreciation at the 31st Olympic Games. During the games, they had been active as chief umpire and sub-umpire at several women football matches. The director of the FIFA Refereeing Department said that Ri and Hong showed themselves as a model football referee and the FIFA felt high pride of having such competent referees. An official of the Asian Football Confederation said the DPRK's international referees represent the authority of the AFC at the Women's World Cup and the Olympic women's football games, hoping that they would make greater contribution to the development of Asian and world women's football. In an interview with KCNA, Ri Hyang Ok expressed her will to steadily improve her quality as a referee and thus display the honor of the country to the full. |
