11 Queensland match officials appointed to FIFA Panel of International Referees for 2022

January 11, 2022

Football Australia has today announced the 28 Australian match officials selected on the FIFA Panel of International Referees for 2022, with 11 Queenslanders named on the panel.

Queensland Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s referee Adam Kersey is one of four new Australian match officials who have been elevated to FIFA’s Panel of International Referees for this first time this year.

The confirmation of the 2022 FIFA Panel follows the appointment of three Queensland match officials to the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™, with referees Casey Reibelt, Lara Lee and Kate Jacewicz to represent Australia in India later this month.

Fellow Queenslander Renae Coghill has also confirmed her retirement from international refereeing at the end of 2021 following seven years on FIFA’s Panel of International Referees.

Football Australia Chairman and Chair of Football Australia’s Referees Committee, Chris Nikou, congratulated the match officials for earning a place on the distinguished panel, and offered additional acknowledgement to Elder, Kersey, Hargrave, and Robinson for being recognised as among the best in the globe for the first time.

Australian match officials have always been highly regarded within the global football landscape and it is pleasing to see that FIFA has continued to recognise this through the appointment of 28 Australians to the Panel of International Referees for 2022,” Nikou said.

“Congratulations to the new additions to the panel in Daniel (Elder), Adam (Kersey), Lauren (Hargrave), and Kearney (Robinson).

Football Australia Chief Executive Officer, James Johnson, explained that the ongoing development of Australian match officials is central to the growth of the game in Australia.

“Refereeing remains a key focus for Football Australia, and it is pleasing to see Australian Match Officials once again recognised by FIFA,” Johnson said.

“We congratulate all the 2022 Panel or their opportunity to represent Australian football on the global stage.”

“With the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ now just 11 months away and a home Women’s World Cup™ in 2023, it is an exciting time for Australian refereeing and football more broadly,” he said.
