Two WaiBOP match officials have recently received international call-ups. 

Nadia Browning has just returned from the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) U-19 Women’s Championships, which were held in the Cook Islands. She was referee for three matches - Papua New Guinea v New Caledonia, Tonga v Papua New Guinea and Tahiti v New Caledonia. 

CK Kawana-Waugh (pictured), WaiBOP's Referee Manager, is heading to the OFC Men’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Fiji, which kicks off this Saturday. 

The New Zealand team won the OFC U-19 Women's Championship after defeating New Caledonia 5-2 in the final. 

New Zealand will also be among the favourites to win the Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, and will be looking to exorcise some demons after rather recklessly missing out four years ago.
