The Rhode Island Soccer Referee Committee (RISRC) is incredibly proud to recognize two outstanding referees who represented Rhode Island with excellence at the USYS National Championships: Steven Cordoso and Juliana Roa.

Competing at the national level is a tremendous achievement and reflects the dedication, professionalism, and hard work both officials have demonstrated throughout their referee careers.

We are especially proud to congratulate Juliana Roa on being selected to officiate a National Championship Final—one of the highest honors a referee can receive at the tournament. This appointment is a testament to her exceptional performances, commitment to excellence, and the trust placed in her by the national referee staff.

Steven and Juliana have represented RISRC with integrity, professionalism, and pride, serving as outstanding ambassadors for Rhode Island and inspiring the next generation of referees.

Congratulations, Juliana, on your Final appointment, and congratulations to both Juliana and Steven on an incredible tournament! We are proud of your accomplishments and look forward to seeing your continued success on the national stage.

What an incredible weekend at the Veterans Cup in Vermont! ⚽💚

It was truly an honor to be part of such a well-organized tournament, surrounded by talented referees, dedicated players, and an amazing soccer community. Experiences like this remind me why I love being a referee and giving back to the game.

A huge thank you to our outstanding leader, SRA Juan Montalvan, for his leadership, guidance, and dedication throughout the tournament.

A special thank you to John Motta for your support, encouragement, and everything you do behind the scenes to help make opportunities like this possible. Your commitment to the referee community is truly appreciated.

Special thanks as well to Salah Ead, Aymane Hassnaoui, and Cooper for your teamwork, professionalism, and friendship. It was a pleasure sharing the field with all of you.

Weekends like this are about more than just officiating—they're about learning, growing, building friendships, and representing our referee community with pride.

Looking forward to many more tournaments together. Until next time, Vermont! ⚽🏆👏

In Loving Memory of Isaac Seekell

It is with profound sadness that we remember Isaac Seekell, a dedicated referee, teammate, son, brother, and friend. Isaac's passion for soccer, commitment to officiating, and positive presence on and off the field left a lasting impact on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.

Isaac represented the very best of our referee community—professional, respectful, eager to learn, and always willing to support others. Though his time with us was far too short, his legacy will continue through the players, referees, coaches, and mentors whose lives he touched.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Seekell family, especially his father James and brother Caleb, during this unimaginable time.

May we honor Isaac by carrying forward the values he exemplified: integrity, dedication, kindness, and love for the game.

- Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
- Forever a member of the Rhode Island referee family.
- Rest in Peace, Isaac Seekell.

💚 Respect the Call Initiative – Supporting Young Referees 💚

The Rhode Island State Referee Committee is proud to support the initiative. As part of this program, all referees under the age of 18 wear a green badge to help raise awareness and promote a positive match environment.

These young officials play a vital role in our game and are developing their skills with every match they officiate. It is essential that players, coaches, and spectators demonstrate respect and sportsmanship at all times.

We ask our soccer community to:
• Treat all referees with respect
• Provide encouragement and constructive support
• Help foster a safe and positive environment for learning

Together, we can ensure a better experience for everyone involved in the game.
