Growing together, on and off the pitch. 🤝🇫🇯🇸🇧 During the #PacificAusSports Football Tour, Australian match officials trained and officiated alongside referees from Fiji and the Solomon Islands, sharing perspectives, approaches and matchday experiences. From joint appointments in Lautoka and Honiara to a combined theory session with Solomon Islands referees, the focus was on building connections, consistency and a stronger refereeing community across the Pacific.

Congratulations to ACT Referee Harrison Cracknell on his debut appointment to the A-Leagues, being named as the Fourth Official for the match between Canberra United and Sydney FC on Wednesday 10 December! #GameOn

Congratulations to Shab Roshan on a first central appointment in @aleaguewomen 15 years working her way up through Victoria including time off to have a baby. Was a fourth official a year ago, now will take charge of #MCYvWEL on Sunday.




No nonsense! It's not often we'd post a picture with a referee in the centre, but Declan Woods has done a standout job so far in the Australian Championship semi-final! #AusChampionship | October 10 - December 6 | SBS & SBS On Demand 📺
