The Refereeing Department of the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) conducted its annual FIFA Nomination Fitness Test on Saturday at the National Track and Field Centre in Leonora, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
A total of 21 match officials participated in the exercise, including six referees, 14 assistant referees, and one futsal referee.
Of the participants, four referees (three male and one female) successfully completed the test. Additionally, eight assistant referees (five male and three female) met the required standards, representing an overall success rate of 62 per cent. The lone futsal referee also successfully passed the fitness assessment.
Notably, all current FIFA officials – Shavin Greene (Referee), Kleon Lindey, Brandon Cyrus, Denesha Isaacs (Assistant Referees), and Colin Abel (Futsal Referee) – successfully completed their assessments.
These results represent a notable improvement compared to previous years. With this performance, Guyana may look forward to having more match officials on the FIFA International List for 2026.
The GFF Refereeing Department extends its congratulations to all participants and best wishes to the successful candidates as they advance through the FIFA nomination process.
