Mashfia Afrin has been recognized as ITF white badge referee at White Badge Officiating School for referee and chief umpire in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sunday.
The five-day long white badge course started last Wednesday with the participation of 16 officials from 14 countries.
Mashfia passed the exam to become the only Bangladeshi referee with white badge.
The recognition allows her to officiate international competitions approved by International Tennis Federation.
She had the experience of two international competitions in Delhi and Kolkata as assistant referee before receiving white badge.
Earlier in 2000, Sarowar Mostafa Joy became ITF white badge chair umpire.
