32-year-old Uzbeki Ravshan Irmatov, the youngest referee in the World Cup. Irmatov will be making his World Cup debut June 11.
The biggest game Irmatov has refereed in was the 2008 World Club Championship final between Manchester United and Liga Deportiva Universitaria de Quito de Ecuador.
Nevertheless, a few facts must be of concern.
Out of the 54 international games (mainly in Asia) that Irmatov has taken charge of, he's awarded the home team six penalties and the away team three.
Irmatov has pulled the red card out of his pocket five times for players from the home side and ten times for the away team. That's a
2:1 ratio on both accounts.
