Futsal match officials from five Oceania Football Confederation Member Associations will be joined by two counterparts from Australia at the OFC Futsal Cup in Suva, Fiji this month.
Solomon Islands trio Rex Kumusu, Philip Mana and Francis Roni join New Zealand duo Antony Riley and Chris Sinclair, along with New Caledonia’s Charlemagne Waheo, as the experienced core.
Jonathon Moore and Nick Backo join the group from Australia.
Riley and Sinclair both officiated at last year’s FIFA Futsal World Cup Lithuania 2021 ™, teaming up to oversee the tournament’s opening game before Sinclair served as the third referee for the tournament final between Portugal and Argentina.
The OFC Futsal Cup will be the first inter-regional futsal tournament held since the start of the pandemic, offering match officials a valuable opportunity to gain some time on court and to develop alongside other officials.
