Another four Vietnamese get FIFA Elite certificates

The world football governing body, FIFA, has recognised four Vietnamese referees to reach the Elite 2018 level.

Among them, three are male – Nguyen Hien Triet, Pham Manh Long and Nguyen Trung Hau -- and one is a female – Truong Thi Le Trinh.

They will be able to work at the upcoming continental tournaments as referee assistants and table referees.

In the time to come, Triet will work in a match, which is considered a test to become an Elite main referee.

Currently, Vietnam has 14 officials who hold FIFA certificates.
