Two young female referees, Sophia Azumah and Salma Iddi, who are graduates of the Catch them Young initiative, are set to be handed an opportunity to officiate at the WAFU B U-17 Girls Cup.
The Catch them Young is an initiative couched by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to identify, groom, and educate young talents between ages 13-16 to officiate juvenile matches within their jurisdiction.
The young officials are specially trained to oversee competitive games, small-sided games, recreational and amateur matches.
The program, which was launched in 2020, has seen some male young referees officiate games at the district and regional level.
