Sunny Singh Gill to Break New Ground as First Referee of Indian Descent in Premier League

His appointment for the Crystal Palace vs. Luton Town match marks a historic moment for diversity in sports officiating.

Sunny Singh Gill is set to become the first referee of Indian descent to officiate a Premier League game, overseeing Crystal Palace vs. Luton Town.
The appointment marks a significant milestone in the Premier League, highlighting diversity and inclusion within the sport.
Sunny follows in the footsteps of his father, Jarnail Singh Gill, the only English league football referee to have worn a turban, and his brother, Bhupinder, the first Sikh-Punjabi Premier League assistant referee.
Sunny and Bhupinder made history in April 2021 as the first duo of British South Asians to officiate in the same Championship match.
Sunny's appointment is part of a broader trend of increasing diversity among Premier League officials, including the first black referee and the first female referee in recent seasons.
