The Guernsey Football Association now has Portuguese, French, Bosnian, English and Kenyan officials.
‘Refereeing is worldwide, we’re a worldwide breed,’ said the GFA referee development officer Graham Skuse, who is a proud Welshman.
‘The qualifications they pick up over here are OK in their own countries as well.’
One new official gracing the local leagues is Peter Omondi.
The 48-year-old Kenyan came to the island recently by way of north London.
He is a pharmacist at the hospital.
Omondi has been refereeing for seven years and is a level-seven qualified referee.
He used to officiate in the Middlesex leagues and was also a coach.
He is glad that he taken up the whistle over here.
