Determined 'men in yellow' for 2018 World Cup

More than two months is remaining until the beginning of the biggest sporting event on earth and eight days ago referees are appointed for that occasion. At the last Thursday in March, the world football organization announced 99 'men in yellow / blue...but not black' from all six confederations which are coming from 46 various countries.
We are not going to write all names here (you can read them on FIFA website), but instead we will mention six regions. European continent is giving most referees: 10 main and 20 assistants. Africa, Asia, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL regions each are giving 6 judges who will be on the pitch. However, those who are going to move along the line are not equalled: 12 are coming from CONMEBOL, 10 each are from AFC and CAF while 8 is giving CONCACAF. The tiniest zone from all, Oceania is sending 2 referees and 3 assistants. Adding it all up we are coming to 36 referees and 63 helpers.
