FORMER Christian Brothers College schoolboy Kieron Watson’s dreams of handling matches at the FIFA World Cup are still alive.

Watson was recently in the United States from November until February to boost his refereeing knowledge.

“I was in America and I am very excited by the chance they gave me to take part of my beloved game unfortunately they refused to give me any centre games,” he said.

“I am now in Sussex (England) and I still want to make a mark and my dream still lives on. I hope very soon I will be a Class One referee

“The Copa Coca-Cola games opened doors for me and one day I might make it to the top.

“I want to become the first Zimbabwean to referee the World Cup final. I believe the sky is the limit for me

“A lot has been happening in football and if a small nation like Iceland can brew up a shocker by beating England, I also feel I can still make it to the World Cup and shine for my country one day.”

Watson, who did his Class 2 last year, has already registered for the same class in England.

“They don’t work in classes here but they work from Grade 9 to 1 (1 being the best) ZIFA still have not given me formal results showing I did Class 2.

“I only have documentation proving Class 3. Therefore, I have been granted Grade 6. I would have been Grade 4 if ZIFA had given me my results. It’s irritating because I paid to do the fitness test and exam last year but we didn’t get results.”
