India Celebrates Historic AFC Match Commissioners Exam Success
Panaji: In a remarkable achievement, India has witnessed its largest-ever group of individuals clearing the prestigious (Asian Football Confederation) Match Commissioners exam. Jonathan de Sousa and Sudhir Menon are among the four successful candidates, joined by Khamba Singh and Wendy D’Costa. This impressive feat more than doubles India’s previous count of match commissioners, which stood at four [2).
Sanjay Kumar, a former journalist, continues to serve as a match commissioner and security coordinator, bringing valuable experience to the group.
The AFC Match Commissioners exam is a rigorous assessment that evaluates an individual’s ability to manage football events and tournaments, communicate effectively, and operate under pressure ¹. The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has been conducting seminars to upskill match commissioners, demonstrating its commitment to developing football infrastructure in India ² ³[5).
This achievement is a testament to India’s growing presence in international football and its dedication to producing highly qualified professionals. Congratulations to the newly certified match commissioners on this outstanding accomplishment!
