So, each year you have to work hard to have your license renewed,\u201d said Yocette who added that he will continue to persevere for international call-ups and pass his fitness tests for continuous renewal of his license.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant referee Padayachi said he is proud of his accomplishment as this badge is like a passport to officiate international games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI still have a long way to go in my refereeing career, and this renewal brings many benefits,\u201d said Padayachi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/cape-verde\">Cape verde<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
