The 42-year old teacher will be accompanied by his countrymen Abdulaziz Al Asmari and Abdullah Al Shalawi. It's his second match at this competition after having taken control over the Group A encounter between the UA Emirates and Qatar.
Khalil Al Ghamdi already attended two World Cups in his career, having been a standby official at 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany and having been an active referee at 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, where he - among others - appeared in the Group Stage matches Mexico - France and Chile - Switzerland as well as in the quarterfinal between Brazil and the Netherlands as fourth official.
A third World Cup participation is possible, since Al Ghamdi is belonging to the prospective list of referees for 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.
Qatar's Banjar Al Dosari will handle the Match for the Third Place between Kuwait and the tournament's hosting nation Bahrain.
