In the fourth round, he will also oversee the match between Al Arabi and Al Khor. The parameters of the agreement between the Japanese Football Association and the QFA govern Kasahara's involvement.   Kasahara declared, "I'm happy to be here in Doha. The Ooredoo Stars League games are overseen by me. I hope every referee has the best possible luck officiating this round's matches."   Numerous refereeing cases from the league's earlier rounds were also covered in the conference. The focus of the conversations was on referees' ability to make correct calls.   The decision-makers, the referees, took part in the case analysis and gave the specialists an explanation of their viewpoint.   Busacca offered healthy praise for several of the decisions that were on the table for consideration.   Hani Taleb Ballan concluded by praising the quality of refereeing in the last three Ooredoo Stars League rounds. As the season went on, he exhorted the rookies to put in greater effort.
