Australian Referee  has been appointed to referee the upcoming international friendly match between the Indonesian Men’s National Team and the current English Premier League Champions, Manchester United, in Jakarta on 20 July 2009.

"It’s a fantastic honour to be appointed to referee a fixture involving one of the biggest football clubs in the world," said Delovski.

Congratulations to NSWSLFR member, Nick Backo, who won the The Young Futsal Referee of the Year Award, named after the late Mario Mazzeo.

The awards night culminated with the Player of the Year Awards for both the Futsal Super League and the Futsal Premier League competitions.

Over the 300 guests were well entertained by comedian and master of ceremonies Joel Ozborn. Special guest on the night was SBS television’s Les Murray who stated that Futsal was an old favourite of his and of his great friend, the late Johnny Warren.

“Futsal has basically replaced street football which is what many children grow up with around the world,” Murray stated.

Football NSW is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Lorenc as Referees Co-ordinator for the organisation.

The 57-year-old comes from a strong refereeing background which has seen him officiate well over 50 international matches which included games in the 1990 World Cup in Italy.

Lorenc holds the record of being the first Australian born and bred referee to be appointed to a World Cup but he has also officiated in the 1988 Women’s World Championships in China and both the 1987 and 1993 World Youth Cups in Chile and Australia.
