The Saudi FA has called on FIFA to withdraw the official from next month's World Cup after the referee was handed a lifetime ban
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has asked FIFA to remove referee Fahad Al Mirdasi from the upcoming World Cup in Russia after he received a lifetime ban from the SAFF for offering to accept a bribe to influence the outcome of a match.
World Cup-bound official Al Mirdasi, 32, was hit with a life-long suspension by the SAFF having confessed to offering to fix Saturday's King's Cup final between Al-Ittihad and Al-Faisaly in Saudi Arabia.
