Roseau (Dominica), January 8 (IANS)

A referee and two assistant referees have been included in Dominica's list of FIFA officials for 2015.

Referee Rhomie Blanc and assistant referees Shawn Lester McDonald and Caesar Gabriel have joined assistant referees Nehron Williams and John Durand to complete the list of five for 2015, reports CMC.

Dominica Football Association (DFA) President Glen Etienne encouraged the new FIFA officials to remain on top of their game in order to stay on the FIFA list.

"Your achievement here, especially for the first timers, is a big step," Etienne told Dominica's new FIFA officials during a ceremony here on Wednesday.

"However, be reminded, that this big step is only a small step in the bigger scheme of things."

The ceremony was also attended by Dominica's Carlisle Jno Baptiste who retired in 2013.
