Rugby referee Aaqil Jamaldeen to officiate at Asian Games

Former Royal College ruggerite M Aaqil Jamaldeen has been selected by the Asian Rugby Football Union as an Assistant Referee for the Asian Games to be held in Indonesia in August. He has also been included in the ARFU Panel C for 2018.

Twenty-two-year-old Jamaldeen represented his school senior rugger team in 2013 and 2014 as a fly half and scrum half.

He had earlier toured Durham to attend a training program and was appointed to referee the Durham Schools final in 2017. Jamaldeen also toured Malaysia last month to referee in the Malaysia 7’s and attended a training/workshop in Singapore last year. He is presently a World Rugby qualified (accredited) Level 2 Match Official.

This young up and coming referee started refereeing in 2015 when he was only 19 years. He is following in his father’s footsteps – Nizam Jamaldeen who is one of the top class referees in the country having played for Police for many years.
