⚽️ 2026 Pat Smith Award Winner - Hidajet Tica

A Career Retrospective:

Hidajet Tica is a remarkable leader whose lifelong commitment to soccer make him a highly deserving recipient of the Pat Smith Award for 2026.

After playing semi-professionally in Bosnia, Hido came to the United States during the war there and built an extraordinary career as a referee, coach, assignor, and administrator. His officiating achievements include USSF National and Professional Referee receiving MLS and International assignments, National Assessor, and his current role as a National Referee Coach. He has also served Iowa soccer through high school coaching, collegiate and state tournament assigning, and his leadership as Referee and Sportsmanship Director for the Iowa Soccer Association. While at Iowa Soccer, he has helped establish the statewide Referee Development Program (RDP) and “Respect 4 All” initiative to recruit, train, retain, and support officials and improve the game environment.

Beyond his accomplishments, Hidajet’s humility, character, and devotion to family have been an inspiration to the entire soccer community.
