From there on he never stepped back and was a regular umpire to officiate in all the major tournaments conducted under the aegis of Hockey India. His first major break through was his appointment as umpire in the 8th Junior Men Asia Cup, held at Kuantan, Malaysia in 2015, based on this performance he was appointed to 12th South Asian Games in 2016.
30 year-old Nepoleon was a National Level hockey player and completed a Diploma in Sports Coaching from the National Institute of Sports, Patiala in 2011. He is presently working as a Coach at the Kokrajhar, Assam. Speaking on the occasion, Nepoleon stated, “It is a proud moment for me to achieve the landmark of International Umpire and I am thankful to FIH & Hockey India for the recognition”.

Nepoleon is among those young umpires from India who have recently been upgraded to international-level outdoor umpire. With Nepoleon added to the elite league of International umpires from India, a total of 14 Indian umpires (10 Men, 4 Women) are now in the category of International-level umpires and would be appointed to officiate FIH tournaments around the world.

Congratulating Nepoleon Singh, Mohd Mushtaque Ahmad, Secretary General, Hockey India said: “This is another achievement of Hockey India as we not only produce the best international players, but also international-level umpires.
