South Texas Youth Soccer is proud of world famous soccer referee (and current STX recreational coach) Ismail Elfath on a fantastic referee career!

Austin local and soccer referee Ismail Elfath is closing an accomplished chapter in his professional officiating career after years of representing the United States on the global stage. Ismail is highly respected in the referee community where he has worked the 2022 & 2026 World Cups, Tokyo Olympics, Copa America, CONCAF’s Champions Cup as well as top tier leagues in MLS, Saudi Arabia and Japan!

As he steps away from professional refereeing, Elfath looks ahead to spending more time giving back to the game and supporting the next generation of soccer players and officials. Elfath currently helps as a coach for Wells Branch Soccer Association apart of Capitol Area Youth Soccer Association (CAYSA).
