English officials selected for the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow

We are proud to announce and congratulate many of our highly skilled technical officials who have been selected for the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships being held at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow.

The large number of technical officials selected from England is a reflection of the high standard of officiating provided by our officials week in week out at events across all parts of the country and demonstrates how valued England Athletics technical officials are.

A talented team of 60 England Athletics officials have been selected for the event - and this includes officials with a wide range of experience and ages; from those with experience of many major events over the years to those appearing at their first international major event as a technical official.

Kenny Ebanks first got involved in officiating when he volunteered as an athlete steward for the World Indoors in Birmingham in 2003.

Getting selected for Glasgow 24 is another landmark in my officiating journey.  After I retired from playing Rugby) I did my officiating course in 2007 and progressed through the levels becoming level 4 in 2018. I feel proud, and I'm delighted that 20 years later I've been appointed as a NTO at another World Indoor Championships that's being held in the UK.

A lifelong fan of the sport, Kamil Winogrodzki never looked back since he began athletics officiating, and says he regrets he didn't start sooner.

Being selected as a Field Judge for the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships is an absolute honour and privilege. It's my first major appointment and it took some hard-work, commitment and dedication to get here but I'm thrilled for the opportunity and simply can't wait!

It's a fantastic way of getting involved with the sport and see it from behind the stage. It's an interesting, rewarding and inspiring hobby and other officials are very friendly and welcoming. If you like athletics you should definitely give it a go!

It will be a great event for all of those involved and everyone at England Athletics would like to wish each of the selected officials all the best and hope they have an amazing time at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
