V.League invites foreign FIFA referees from Malaysia to officiate the most intense match round.

Round 25 of the 2025/26 V.League season will feature two FIFA referees from Malaysia, and VAR will be used across many important matchups.

The 25th round of the 2025/26 V.League will see the arrival of two Malaysian FIFA referees invited by the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to officiate key matches in the final stretch of the season. This is considered a move to enhance objectivity and professional standards for decisive games.

According to the allocation, referee Muhammad Izzul Fikri Bin Kamaruzaman will take charge of the match between CA TP HCM and Thể Công Viettel. Meanwhile, referee Razlan Joffri Bin Ali has been appointed to oversee the showdown between HAGL and Hà Nội FC – one of the marquee matches of round 25.

Muhammad Izzul Fikri Bin Kamaruzaman (born 1995) is a rising young referee from Malaysian football. This V.League season, he has frequently served as a VAR official in notable matches and has also been the main referee in games featuring big clubs like Công an Hà Nội and HAGL, demonstrating his familiarity with the Vietnamese football environment.

Meanwhile, Razlan Joffri Bin Ali is an experienced referee who has officiated many matches within the AFC system for years. He is also no stranger to the V.League, having been regularly invited to take charge of high-pressure matches that are pivotal for the championship and relegation races.

Notably, round 25 of the 2025/26 V.League will feature VAR in five matches: PVF-CAND vs Hải Phòng, HAGL vs Hà Nội FC, Hà Tĩnh vs Đà Nẵng, CA TP HCM vs Thể Công Viettel, and CAHN vs Becamex TP HCM. This underscores the round's importance, as many fixtures directly impact the standings.

The involvement of Malaysian FIFA referees and VAR is expected to ensure fairness, reduce controversy, and uphold professional standards, especially during the tense final sprint of the 2025/26 V.League season.
