Aberdeen & District Referees Association

The Association is delighted to advise that UEFA has announced that Morag Pirie has been promoted to the UEFA “Women Elite” category for the second half of Season 2013-14.

 

Sandy Roy, Association Manager, said of the promotion: “It’s a truly magnificent achievement and thoroughly deserved for all the sacrifices and hard work which Morag has made to achieve this goal.”

 

John Fleming, Scottish FA Head of Referee Operations, also commented: “This is wonderful news for Morag Pirie, it is reward for all the hard work and effort she has put in over the years. She has had a very successful year in international football and with her being in the prospective pool of referees for the FIFA 2015 Women’s World Cup in Canada, we can only hope that her promotion will increase her chances of selection.”

• Colin Bain
