Referees' training match in Madrid
After two days of physical tests, theoretical classes, and cognitive work, the referees in the CBF PRO category took to the field this Wednesday (8) for activities simulating real match situations. The Refereeing Committee was joined by Ousadia FC, a team from Barcelona made up exclusively of Brazilian players that competes in the Quarta Catalana, one of the promotion divisions in Spanish football.
The president of the CBF Refereeing Committee, Sandro Meira Ricci, praised the work carried out by the referees in the activity, as well as Ousadia FC’s commitment to the purpose of the session.
“It’s the kind of work that is difficult to develop, because it’s not easy to put real match situations into practice for referees to train. It’s a different perspective; it’s not a practice match for a professional team in training. And Ousadia FC was very professional and did top-level work, putting our referees into game situations such as penalties, fouls, offsides, and important decisions. We had a high-level training session today that surprised the FIFA instructors who followed the activity,” said Sandro.
The training session was also celebrated by Ousadia FC. Edivando Júnior, better known as "Queixinho," thanked the CBF for the opportunity.
“I never imagined I would experience this in my life. I’m inside the training center of the Spanish national team and together with the CBF. Making a living from football is not easy. We go through countless things, and today’s training gave us a new perspective on refereeing. Choosing to be a referee is not easy. There is attention to the physical work, but also to the psychological side. It’s very important to be by their side, to get to know a referee up close, and to truly see that they are great people,” said the number 10, who, in addition to being a player, is also the creator of the Spanish team project.
This Thursday (9), the referees will have two more work sessions at the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) in Madrid. In the morning, field activities, and in the afternoon the professionals will attend lectures on the new FIFA rules being applied at the World Cup.
