PSL hires two Thai referees for Grand Prix finals

MANILA, Philippines–The Philippine Superliga will employ two Thai referees for the best-of-three championship series between Petron and F2 Logistics starting on Tuesday at FilOil Flying V Center.

International refs Komsun Gettaworn and Jirasak Pumduang are set to arrive Monday, according to PSL chair Philip Ella Juico.

“While we are very satisfied with the performance of our local referees, the participation of guest referees from Thailand would definitely spice up the finals series. Aside from that, allowing foreign guest-referees also put the PSL in the community of leagues that strictly adheres to fair play and respect to the sport,” he said.

The PSL has been bringing in foreign referees during conference finals the past four years.

“With the guest referees and the video challenge system, we’re looking forward to a fair, just and exciting finals series. We’re glad to have Mr. Gettaworn and Mr. Pumduang on board,” Juico said.
