Refereeing in the spotlight during FIFA world cup in Aotearoa

From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 25 July 2023

It's Fifa fever, and for at least one young footballer player - the World Cup buzz is as much about the referees as it is the players.

Seventeen-year-old Ciara Griffin , a player and referee herself, is also one of the stars of the docu-series about women's amateur football - 'The Journey North' - whose producer - Kimberley Kan - featured on our programme last month.

She talks to Jesse about the challenges of reffing and her future.
