Our referees have been included in five different categories which see Andrew Achari and Rakesh Varman in the referees category. Rakesh Chandra, Ravinesh Kumar, Avinesh Narayan and Phul Singh as assistant referees. #School teacher Jainut Dean and Amitesh Behari in futsal while Rajnish Dave and Faraz Mohammed as beach soccer referees. Finau Vulivuli’s top recent performance has seen her regain her spot.#International events this year include FIFA U-17 and U-20 Women’s World Cups, men’s and women’s Olympic Football Tournaments and the FIFA Club World Cup while opportunities within Oceania include Olympic and World Cup qualifiers, age-group qualification tournaments and the O-League.#Fiji Football Association referees director Chandra Segran says the group had earned their spot. #“All the 11 referees deserve a spot in the FIFA referees panel,” he said. # “They have earned their spot; there is no doubt about it. This is what we encourage other referees to aim for. It is an honour and a privilege to be named in the FIFA referees panel as officiating around the Oceania region and World Cup events is an opportunity which does not come every day.”#Fiji FA referees had a positive outing in the 2011 season as Finau Vulivuli became our first referee to officiate at the senior FIFA women’s World Cup event in Germany. Ravinesh Kumar also became the first Fijian to officiate at the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan. #“This is not the end of the road for the 11 that have been included in the 2012 panel. Their performance will be closely monitored. If they excel then they will be considered for more matches so overall the onus will be on them now,” Segran said. #Referees#Andrew Achari#Rakesh Varman#Assistant Referees#Rakesh Chandra#Ravinesh Kumar#Avinesh Narayan#Phul Singh#Futsal#Amitesh Behari#Jainut Dean#Beach Soccer#Rajnish Dave#Faraz Mohammed#Women’s Football#Finau Vulivuli#
