Applications are now being taken for the Tournament panel of officials.
All 11 aside games have 3 officials appointed, meaning panellists can expect to receive 3 games per day - normally one in the middle and 2 assistant roles. This equates to 2 normal matches per day as games are usually 30 minutes each way.
Referees from any country are welcomed and inexpensive accomodation can be sourced locally by the tournament committee. Less experienced referees can volunteer for the Under 10 & 11 mini soccer competition where they will do up to 6 short games at 7 aside.
