Strebre Delovski (born 13 October 1975) is an Australian soccer referee in the A-League.[1][2] He previously officiated in the Illawarra Premier League [3] and during the A-League off-season has been refereeing in the NSW Premier League competition.[4] In 2005 and 2007 he was named NSW Premier League Referee of the Year.[5][6]
Delovski was the referee for the first leg of the 2009 OFC Champions League Final between Auckland City and Koloale.[7] He was named A-League Referee of the Season at the 2008-09 PFA Footballer of the Year Awards[8][9] and Referee of the Year at the 2009-10 FFA A-League awards.[10] Delovski was promoted to the FIFA referee panel in January 2009.[11][12] He was scheduled to officiate a friendly match between Manchester United and Indonesia as part of his two-game assessment to join the Asian elite referee panel[13][14] but the match was called off due to the 2009 Jakarta bombings.[15] On 10 November 2012, Delovski was the 4th official for the final match of the 2012 AFC Champions League match Ulsan Hyundai vs Al-Ahli SC in Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium .
Delovski is regarded as one of the best in Australia, despite the number of errors he has made, especially in the Semi-Final clash in 2014 against Melbourne Victory and Brisbane Roar in which he failed to award a late penalty to Melbourne Victory who were down by 1 goal. Brisbane Roar then went on to with the Championship 1 week later against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
