Referee Crew's Comment

Andrew Madley (England)
After coming to this country as a part the referee exchange programme and overseeing matches in the J.League, I'm extremely honoured to be in charge of the KIRIN CHALLENGE CUP. I work in the Premier League back home in England, but the experience I've gained over the past few weeks has been a wonderful addition to my career as a referee because it has allowed me to see the distinct culture and playing style of Japanese football. I will do my best to display my finest refereeing as a way of expressing my gratitude for the opportunity to oversee this match, my time in Japan, and the people I have met through this programme.
