The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) has announced that Massachusetts Referee Tom Supple (Kingston) has been nominated to the 2004 FIFA list as a Grade 2 Referee (FIFA AR). Supple would join current members Rachel Woo (Auburndale) and Jenn Bennett (Boxford) on the prestigious FIFA list, upon final acceptance by soccer's governing body.
Supple, a National Referee since 1999, has been a regular in high level professional and Adult games across the US including playoffs matches for both MLS and WUSA.
Congratulations on a job well done!
Update: According to the FIFA Web Site it appears Tom has been confirmed. A "typo" on the list incorrectly lists Tom as a FIFA referee, as opposed to the correct designation of FIFA Assistant Referee. Once again, congratulations.
