Refereeing has become a focal point of discussions following the first leg matches of the Brazil 2014 World Cup play-offs. In preparation for the decisive matches leading to the land of Pelé, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is carefully reviewing potential candidates to officiate in the crucial games.
The referee for the Cameroon-Tunisia match has been determined, with Mauritian official Seechurn Rajindraparsad set to wield the whistle. Born on June 3, Rajindraparsad commenced his refereeing career in 1996 and ascended to lead the Mauritian elite division for the first time in 2001. He achieved international referee status in 2003 and previously officiated the Togo-DRC match (2-1) during the last day of the second round of qualifying for the Brazil 2014 World Cup. The return match is scheduled for November 17 in Yaoundé.
In the Tunisia-Cameroon encounter in Radès, the refereeing responsibilities fell to Malian referee Koman Coulibaly. The match concluded with a goalless draw, leaving the outcome finely balanced for the return leg. As these matchups unfold, the focus on refereeing decisions and performances remains a notable aspect of the Brazil 2014 World Cup play-offs.
