Officiating programme

The Officiating Programme is structured progressively, covering technical regulations, refereeing management, and operational procedures to unify criteria and raise refereeing standards globally. Level 1, already operational, forms the basis of the training programme, which will be completed with new levels currently under development. The Programme includes mandatory periods of guided practice to ensure adequate professional performance in competition.
