Eddy Maillet is the refereeing coordinator for his country's FA and the only referee from the Seychelles to have officiated at the finals of a FIFA tournament.

His career record includes two FIFA U-17 World Cup competitions, Finland 2003 and Korea 2007, and his total of seven matches makes him the referee with the most appearances in the history of the tournament.

In an international career that began in 2001, he has handled games in South Africa's Premier League, taken part in the last three CAF Africa Cup of Nations competitions, including the 2008 curtain-raiser between Ghana and Guinea, and also refereed at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.

In 2008 Maillet, who is also a keen hockey player, was on the whistle in the second leg of the CAF Confederation Cup final between Etoile du Sahel and CS Sfaxien.
