At the Hyundai A-League 2009/10 Awards ceremony held at The Ivy in Sydney on Monday 15th February, 2010 NSW State League Football and Hyundai A-League Referee Strebre Delovski was named the Zurich Referee of the Year - a well deserved honour. 

The award is another highlight in the refereeing career of Wollongong-based Delovski.  Having started his career as a 15-year old, Delovski moved through the Illawarra local league then to the NSW State League ranks before being appointed to the Hyundai A-League referee panel in 2005.  Delovski received his FIFA Referee badge in January 2009 and his first major international appointment was the first leg of the 2009 OFC Champions League Final between Auckland City (New Zealand) and Koloale (Solomon Islands ) in April.
