    Sarah Ochwada is a renowned Kenyan international sports lawyer and serves as the Deputy Chairperson and judge for the Players' Status Chamber (PSC), a specialized sports court and an internal legal body of Fifa. In an exclusive interview with the BBC's Waihiga Mwaura, she says that football's top body still suffers from a ''lot of lack of transparency in how certain things are done'' and also believes that now is a good opportunity for Fifa to "explain to the public how it appoints match officials'', following several polemic decisions seen in the 2026 Fifa World Cup. And last, but not least, she delved into the controversial refereeing in Egypt's defeat to Argentina. 🎤 Reporter: Waihiga Mwaura 🎬 Produced by: Daniel Dadzie and Victor Chege 🎞️ Edited by: Emmanuel James
