My husband and I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Toros Kibritjian at the field recently. We enjoyed a lovely conversation about his journey to the United States, his background, and his incredible experiences as a FIFA referee. He shared heartwarming stories about his family, including his daughters and grandchildren, which made our conversation even more special.
His passion and dedication truly shine through his stories, making it inspiring to hear him speak. We’re also very grateful for the thoughtful gift of his book. I’m excited to read it and learn more from his insights. It was a pleasure meeting such a genuine and kind person.
