It was a history-making summer for the PSRA Officials representing the US & Canada at the 2026 World Cup! The team of Ismail Elfath, Corey Parker, and Kyle Atkins became the most decorated American on-field crew when they officiated England vs. Argentina in the semifinal. They also became the first American crew to work multiple knockout round matches, taking charge of Norway vs. Brazil in the Round of 16, following 2 group stage games. Drew Fischer, Micheal Barwegen, and Lyes Arfa became the first Canadian trio to work a Men’s World Cup match when they officiated the France vs. Iraq group stage game in Philadelphia. The crew finished with 2 group stage matches and worked the highly entertaining Round of 32 matchup between Cabo Verde and Argentina. The crew of Tori Penso, Brooke Mayo, and Katy Nesbitt became the first all-female American crew to work a Men’s World Cup match when they took the field for Czechia vs. South Africa. The crew worked 2 group games, with Tori and Brooke also selected as 4th official and Reserve AR for 2 games, including the Round of 32 match between France and Sweden. Video Match Officials Armando Villarreal and Joe Dickerson combined for 25 assignments in the booth during the 2026 World Cup, including 13 knockout round matches. PSRA congratulates the 11 match officials who represented the United States and Canada at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for their performances!

On #internationalwomensday, we celebrate the progress over the last 10 years that has been made in the sport. Trailblazers of the past generations helped create opportunities for today's officials. We've all seen the results firsthand. Here's to seeing which walls the next generation of female officials break down. #trailblazer #referee #soccer #fifa #mls #nwsl #usl

We congratulate Ted on a distinguished and storied career. His unwavering professionalism, steadfast friendship, and camaraderie have left an indelible mark both on the field and in the locker room. While his presence will surely be missed, we are excited to see where his talent and determination will lead him next. Ted, thank you for everything—you’ll always be part of the PSRA family, and we’re excited to see what you conquer next.

#MLScup - The honor and privilege of working in professional sports is something we feel each game when we step into the stadium. MLS Cup hits a little differently. It's the pinnacle of our sport, and there are so many people through the years that helped us get where we are. When the whistle blows, it's just another game. But outside the lines, it means so much. #Referee #Refereelife #MLS #Family #friends

Congratulations to the USL Super League players on their unionization vote and to the USLPA for leading the way! Voluntarily recognizing the union is a strong, wise decision by USL and reflects the professionalism with which they are approaching this new Division 1 league and investing in the growth of women’s soccer. #1u

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween this evening!
