THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Head of Refereeing Department, Stanley Lancaster, has been invited to the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association (CONCACAF) 2017 Heads of Refereeing Workshop from November 10 to 12 in Miami, Florida.

Lancaster will be a part of this first CONCACAF meeting of all Member Association Heads of Refereeing workshop, which has been developed for heads of refereeing to receive critical information that will help each member association to direct their refereeing departments in the future.

The workshop is meant to be an annual event.
In an invited comment, Lancaster said he expects to see a difference in his approach to his duties after completing this workshop.

“The knowledge received from this workshop will be a plus for Guyana since I’ll be exposed to the standard recommended by CONCACAF. This knowledge will subsequently be filtered to referees, instructors and assessors through training and education.

“Coming out of this we will surely see growth in the standard of refereeing in Guyana.”
