Meet CJ Morgante
Recently, I was asked to write a biography about my journey of becoming a FIFA Assistant Referee. Reflecting has been fun and I hope that my experiences will provide encouragement for other young referees. It’s been an interesting journey – one that has taken me countless miles and across the paths of many different people.
