The Refereeing Department of Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has decided to organize courses via an online classroom tool to provide support for referees.
This was contained in a letter signed by FIFA
Director of Refereeing Massimo Busacca and sent to all Member Associations on
Monday, May 18, 2020.
“Due to the major impact of the virus on the
organization of events such as in-person courses and seminars, FIFA has been
searching for alternative ways to continue our mission of supporting and
improving refereeing globally.
“We understand how important it is to
provide solutions that allow referees to develop and train as safely and
effectively as possible,” the letter read.
“Therefore, we are pleased to inform you that
FIFA refereeing will now offer courses via an online classroom tool.
“This solution is designed to provide ongoing
support to your referees, assistant referees, video assistant referees, instructors,
and assessors,” it added.
The Ghana Football Association has since
informed the Referees Committee about the development, whilst awaiting further
information from FIFA to ensure that Ghanaian referees benefit from the
initiative. –GNA
