Barbados – The fourth CFU Next Generation Referee Course, held from January 17-19, 2025, in Barbados, concluded on Sunday with a ceremony in which participants received their certificates and were given a charge to uphold the highest standards of discipline and professionalism on and off the field. Two match officials from St. Kitts and Nevis were involved: Yusuf Saunders and Jodi Walters.

A total of 22 match officials from across the Caribbean successfully completed the intensive training program designed to enhance their skills and knowledge. Jordan Chaibriant of Guyana emerged as the top performer, earning recognition as the best overall among the group.

Chaibriant also shared top honours with Mozakie King of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for excelling in the rigorous fitness test, while N’Neeka Harewood of Trinidad and Tobago and Guillaume Parkins of the British Virgin Islands were jointly recognised for their outstanding performance in the video test.
