Three Lindeners are among the six Guyanese match officials awarded FIFA badges for the 2026 refereeing cycle, marking a major achievement for football officiating in Region Ten.

They are referee Shavin Greene, female assistant referee Denisha Isaacs, and Kenisha Prescott, who receives her first FIFA appointment as a referee.

Greene, now in his fourth year on the FIFA list, enjoyed a standout 2025 season with assignments including a World Cup Qualifier and the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup Final, while also earning promotion to CONCACAF Tier Two.

Denisha Isaacs secured her fourth consecutive FIFA badge and reached a major milestone last year when she officiated her first senior men’s international match in a CONCACAF Friendly Series.

First-time appointee Kenisha Prescott continues her rapid rise after completing several regional and CONCACAF development programmes.

The other three 2026 appointments include assistant referees Kleon Lindey and Brandon Cyrus, along with futsal referee Colin Abel.

The Guyana Football Federation says the appointments reflect continued progress in referee development and Guyana’s growing international presence.
