UEFA and FIFA on the uniformity of refereeing standards

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The desire to create a standardised system of refereeing has meant that guidance has been issued to national associations and directives have been given to referees through UEFA and FIFA training events. The subsequent responses and reaction to these UEFA and FIFA directives and their success in the view of national associations and elite referees are considered in this chapter. The intention of these UEFA and FIFA guidelines, including the direction given to national associations is to promote greater standardisation of practices and uniformity in associated training programmes for elite referees and the associated difficulties are also discussed here.
