Fast rising Guyanese referee, Gladwyn Johnson will be part of the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Gold Cup as one of 12 Targeted Advanced Referee Program (TARP).
TARP referees are part of the development strategy of the Confederation to provide an opportunity of working with elite officials in order to prepare them for future competitions. Game assignments will be announced prior to each match. Last month (May 11-14) Johnson participated in a TRAP programme that was held in Dallas Texas ahead of the Gold Cup. For the first time in the tournament history, all match officials will be stationed at a referee headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and travel to assigned games across the United States. CONCACAF announced the referee designations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, featuring 17 experienced match officials from 10 countries within the region. These elite match officials were required to pass several assessments including the FIFA World Cup Candidate Fitness test, so that they could potentially be considered for an appointment to CONCACAFβs most important competition. The tournament will be played from July 7-26, 2017 in 14 stadiums in 13 metropolitan areas across the United States. βCONCACAF has selected top-class referees to officiate at the Confederationβs premier championship. These officials have undergone strenuous preparation and vetting as our commitment is to ensure consistent high-quality performance on the field,β said CONCACAF Director of Refereeing, Brian Hall. βFor the 14th edition of Gold Cup, officials will be based in Dallas in an effort to maximize the training and flow of crucial information to enhance game management.β The CONCACAF Referee Committee approved the list of participants, who were reviewed and selected by the CONCACAF Referee Technical Advisory Team, a cross regional group of refereeing experts. This team includes 60 participants, 17 referees, 25 assistant referees, six assessors and 12 members of the Targeted Advanced Referee Program (TARP). Taking place every two years, the CONCACAF Gold Cup is the official national team championship of the region, which includes North and Central America and the Caribbean, and will be broadcast in the United States on the FOX and Univision family of networks.
