I note that the subject officiated as linesman in a 2018 world cup match. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose that PressTV may be reliable on soccer. And my searches show that other Iranian media have sentences like "Reza Sokhandan and Mohammad Mansouri will officiate ..."E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:22, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

PressTV certainly wouldn't be a reliable source for content about middle Eastern geopolitics, but I cited it here for this uncontroversial content simply because it was the first source that I found indicating this. Looking elsewhere I see that he acted as assistant refereee (the new-fangled name for what has been known since time immemorial as a linesman) in four matches at the world cup including the third place play-off. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless, the claim is that "Sokhandan is an assistant referee." Delete E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:22, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
