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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are referee Shavin Greene, female assistant referee Denisha Isaacs, and Kenisha Prescott, who receives her first FIFA appointment as a referee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denisha Isaacs secured her fourth consecutive FIFA badge and reached a major milestone last year when she officiated her first senior men\u2019s international match in a CONCACAF Friendly Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First-time appointee Kenisha Prescott continues her rapid rise after completing several regional and CONCACAF development programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other three 2026 appointments include assistant referees Kleon Lindey and Brandon Cyrus, along with futsal referee Colin Abel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guyana Football Federation says the appointments reflect continued progress in referee development and Guyana\u2019s growing international presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
