In the early morning of November 25, Beijing time, FIFA officially announced that Chinese referee Ma Ning will serve as the fourth official of the World Cup group stage France team VS Danish team. This is the third time that Manning has participated in the law enforcement work of Qatar World Cup. Previously, he had completed the enforcement of the group stage US VS Wales competition and Spain VS Costa Rica competition, both times as the fourth official.

The game between France and Denmark will be held at 0:00 am on November 27, Beijing time. The referee on duty was Simon Massinak from Poland , and the two assistant referees were also from Poland, while the fourth official was Ma Ning from China. In the first round of the World Cup, France defeated Australia 4-1, and Denmark drew 0-0 with Tunisia.

Previously, according to " Beijing Youth Daily ", after serving as the fourth official for two consecutive games, Ma Ningli was not far from enforcing the World Cup as the referee, and said that he is likely to make his first home whistle in the second round of the World Cup.

However, unfortunately, there are 5 male referees from AFC in this World Cup, and only Ma Ning has not yet obtained the opportunity to enforce the game as the referee in the game. Another Asian referee who did not get the "main whistle" opportunity is Japan's Ryomi Yamashita, but this is a female referee.
