A press release informs that the trials are being conducted under the Project Future India 2012 of the Asian Football Confederation. Both the girls are students of Government College, Tadong.
While speaking to media persons, General Secretary, Sikkim Football Association, Menla Ethenpa said that this is the first time that women referees from Sikkim have shown interest in refereeing as a profession which has always been a male dominated area.
Mr Ethenpa further said that there is a dearth of women referees in India and if educated girls from Sikkim take this profession seriously there is great scope for them not only in the country but abroad as well. He also urged others to come forward to take this profession up.
