The entire Saudi Arabian refereeing team has been banned from officiating at the 2018 World Cup.
This is because one referee, Fahad Al-Mirdasi, has been slapped with a life ban from soccer as he tried to fix a match in his own country.
Al-Mirdasi reportedly “asked for money to help a team win a cup final” in Saudi Arabia.
The scandal has cost Al-Mirdasi his place at the premier sports event of the summer.

Saudi Arabian referee Fahad Al-Mirdasi has issued a lot of red cards during his time as a match official, but now he has been given marching orders of his own.
