SIFF Referee Development Officer Hamilton Siau officiated the handover of the accreditations and congratulated the match officials on their achievements.
“This is a testament to their hard work, professionalism and commitment to the sport. We look forward to another busy and successful year ahead,” Mr Siau said.
Some of the match officials were on overseas assignment when the department handed out the accredited badges last week.
