AS the CONCACAF region prepares for the start of the second edition of the Nations League competition and as national teams from the participating member associations prepare by hosting training matches, here in the Bahamas we are preparing on two fronts.

The focus is on Evens Julmis, a 22-year-old trained referee, who has received his first Nations League appointment. Julmis has been appointed by CONCACAF to the 4th referee position for the League B, Group B match Haiti vs Bermuda in Bermuda on June 4th, 2022.

Having come through the Bahamas Referee Academy and having attended the CONCACAF Referee Academy, Julmis most recently traveled to the prestigious Dallas Cup Tournament where he gained additional experiences which led to this appointment.

Julmis, a graduate of CR Walker High School where he played soccer for the GSSSA Champions Knights as well as being a member of the BFA champions Dynamos Football Club, was also was a member of the men’s soccer and beach soccer national teams.

Julmis has been a referee for 5 years and finds it a challenge to juggle his schedule but thanks his bosses at Fourth Terrace Diagnostic Center for allowing him the opportunity to persue his dream of working up the ranks to one day be a FIFA Referee. So, keep your eyes peeled too the television and you may see young Julmis doing his duties in Bermuda.
