The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has selected 16 Catch Them Young Referees to officiate the 2026 XI DOL Super Cup, scheduled for Monday at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.

The officiating team comprises eight centre referees and eight assistant referees, who will handle matches throughout the competition.

The XI DOL Super Cup has become an important avenue for the GFA’s Catch Them Young Referees to gain competitive experience and sharpen their skills as they progress in their officiating careers.

Since the tournament was introduced, the youth refereeing initiative has remained a key component, giving promising officials the opportunity to operate in a high-pressure competitive environment.

The 2026 tournament will be the fifth edition of the XI DOL Super Cup, with the GFA continuing its efforts to identify, nurture and develop the next generation of Ghanaian referees.

With the action set for Obuasi, attention will turn to the young officials as they take another important step in their refereeing development.
