BFA match officials make 2025 FIFA International Referees List

0

Five local football match officials have achieved the highest status in football refereeing — the prestigious 2025 FIFA International Referees List.

This was announced by the Barbados Football Association (BFA) this week after being informed by the FIFA Refereeing Subdivision that current FIFA International Assistant Referees Kevon Clarke, Angelo Doyle, and Abigail Brathwaite would remain on the list.

BFA Referee Cleon Culley and BFA Assistant Referee Jaselle Louison have also been approved by the FIFA Referees Committee to officiate matches at an international level.

BFA’s Head of Refereeing, Victor Moore, expressed his delight at the accreditation of the Barbadian match officials, noting that it is the first time since 2017 that Barbados has a FIFA-accredited Men’s Referee.

“The FIFA Referee Badge is the pinnacle of match officiating in the world of football refereeing,” Moore said.

“To have five of our BFA match officials on the 2025 FIFA International Referees List is an outstanding achievement, and it is a testament to the calibre of referees we have been developing through the BFA. Our ability to continue to add more local officials to the FIFA International Referees List is the result of the dedication of our technical team of instructors, with the support of fellow referees, especially over the last two seasons. We look forward to adding even more officials to this list in the years to come.”

Moore explained that FIFA member countries are annually invited to nominate officials to be considered for the FIFA International Referees List — an annual publication of the global list of FIFA international referees. However, selection is based on a stringent set of criteria and match experience.

He concluded: “To then be selected by the FIFA Referees Committee is a real honour, and on behalf of the BFA Refereeing Department, I extend my warm congratulations to our successful officials and wish them every success on their match officiating journey as they continue to make the BFA and Barbados proud.”
