Sixteen persons have responded to the recruitment of Referees administrated by the Cayman Islands Referees Association in collaboration with the Cayman Islands Football Association.

The course which started on May 18, 2010 is well on its way and the date for the final examination is set for Monday, May 31, at the George Town Primary School. 

Referees perform a significant role in the global sports of football. Their presence in the game is to ensure safety, fairness, equality and enjoyment. With the growth in football's popularity, particularly among women and youth, the demand for these officials is always increasing and joining the ranks of the Cayman Islands local referee Association is the gateway to be on the FIFA International panel of referees.
