Please join us in recognizing our very own Tom Supple for his selection as AVAR at the 2025 Major League Soccer Cup last weekend! This is Tom’s second selection for the MLS Cup event, his first being in 2018.
When MLS started in 1995, Tom was one of the first officials selected. He was chosen as a National Referee in 1999 and became part of the FIFA panel in 2004 as an assistant referee. Tom continued refereeing on the FIFA panel until his retirement in 2010.
Tom has officiated a total of nearly 150 MLS regular season games as an AR and 233 games in the video operations room.
Congratulations Tom!

In memory of our friend and his long time service to the game of soccer. We are grateful for his contributions in the development of referees and instructors. Peter received recognition from the MSRC in 2003 as the William R. Murphy Administrator of the Year and in 2015 as the Steven A. Kokolski Assessor of the Year. Additionally, US Soccer recognized him as a Life Member. We will always remember his sense of humor and great kindness.
Rest in peace.
