World Lacrosse selects officials for 2024 Women’s U20 Championship

World Lacrosse today announced the on-field officials selected for the World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship, set for August 15-24 in Hong Kong, China. 

The 38 officials represent 12 nations and three Continental Federations. The World Lacrosse’s Officiating Committee helped to select the group of officials in consultation with National Governing Bodies and CFs based on the officials’ quality and past performance in internationally sanctioned events.  

The group of officials will be supported through the championship by a team of educators who will mentor, evaluate and assess their performance. Leading up to the event, the individuals will continue to officiate in their home countries, attend online workshops, undergo fitness testing and take rules exams ensuring that they are best prepared for the championship. 

Each official selected for the championship has a WL1 or higher certification, in line with World Lacrosse’s recent efforts to develop an officials’ certification program to ensure a consistent standard across world championships. Newer officials matriculated from the program in recent months. 

The 38 officials can be found below, listed alphabetically first by country and then name, followed by the team of off-field personnel.
