One of the world’s top beach soccer referees, Nigeria’s Jelili Ogunmuyiwa has been appointed again by FIFA for the World Beach Soccer tournament scheduled for Dubai later this year.
The 30 year old who is presently running an HND programme in economics and cooperative management at the Federal Cooperative College, Eleyele Ibadan, became a FIFA beach soccer referee in January 2008.
It is to his credit that he officiated at the world beach soccer qualifier in Durban in March, 2008. He then moved over to the world tourney in Marseille same year. This year he was again at the world cup qualifier in Durban and did well enough to earn a call up for the world Cup in Dubai.
A premier league referee since 2006, Jelili has handled 20 top league matches including this year’s league opener in Aba between Enyimba and Lobi Stars that ended in a draw.
Nigeria was at the FIFA World Beach Soccer Tourney in 2006 aand2007, missed out in 2008 to Senegal and Cameroun, and have returned in 2009 as Africa champions.
