He began the competition as a fourth official for St Paul’s United Strikers FC (St Kitts) vs Guyana Defence Force FC (Guyana).
Harding-Hodge was also fourth official at Scholars International SC (Cayman Islands) vs AC Port of Spain FC (Trinidad) and Club Franciscain (Martinique) vs Scholars International SC (Cayman Islands).
And he acted as referee during the match between Academia Quintana FC (Puerto Rico) vs Real Rincon (Bonaire).
In addition to these matches, he participated in high-level training sessions alongside top referees from across the Caribbean.
This further enhanced his expertise and contributed to the ongoing growth of officiating standards in the region, the press release said.
The AFA commended him for representing Anguilla with distinction in the tournament and for inspiring the next generation of referees to aim for excellence and embrace high level opportunities.
Harding-Hodge was officially appointed to the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)’s prestigious 2025 international referee list in January.
It marked a historic moment for the AFA and signals the return of the island to the global football stage after 17 years without a FIFA-listed referee.
