TUSC Referee's

TUSC's own Mohammed Shaban

Mohammed Shaban was recently named referee of the year for the Tulsa United Soccer Club. Mohammed is an 18 year old Tulsan who graduated from Peace Academy a year early. He has attended TCC and is now transferring to Rogers State College on a scholarship to play soccer.

Mohammed has played soccer since he was five years old, eventually playing competitive soccer for WSA 93 red. He has been a referee at Tulsa United since 2007 and loves the sport. He helps coach his 11year-old brother's team. He says refereeing games helps him in many ways with his coaching and playing. Mohammed says, " I learn a new thing every single game I referee. I see something new every time." He really enjoys the sport and hopes his brother will also referee.

Mohammed will study pre-med at Rogers State, starting the path to become a doctor. TUSC is very proud to have a referee like Mohammed.
