Chantal Boudreau Joins 2015 FIFA Assistant Referee List

For the first time ever, Saskatchewan is represented by a soccer referee at the international level.

2014 was an extremely exciting and busy year for Boudreau, and included exceptional performances at the following competitions: Semi-Professional Game in Montreal, U18 CSA Club Nationals, Canada West Final Four, and the CIS National Championships. With her new accreditation, 2015 promises to bring about even more great experiences for Boudreau as she begins to officiate at FIFA appointed international competitions and continues to officiate at CSA appointed competitions.

"I was incredibly excited to hear that I had made the 2015 FIFA Assistant Referee List. I've been working hard for the past few years, and now that my dream has come true, it feels surreal. I'm looking forward to the next year on the International list and will strive to perform well and represent our province in a positive way. I would like to thank everyone who has helped me along this road. It's been challenging at times, but all the hard work and dedication have paid off. I hope to see many of my fellow officials in the province join me on this list." says Boudreau.

Boudreau has been a part of the Saskatchewan Elite Referee Program since its inception in 2012, which works with identified officials to improve their knowledge, fitness and game experience with a goal of assisting them in reaching higher levels of officiating. Her hard work and dedication have paid off with this amazing and well-deserved invitation.

The SSA is very proud of this achievement and wishes Chantal a long and successful career representing Saskatchewan Soccer, our province and Canada on the most prestigious list of all.
