24 FIFA-Badged Referees Pass 2013 Fitness Test

Posted on 2:30 AM by Unknown
All 24 FIFA-badged referees who participated in the 2013 FIFA fitness test for vario
us cadres of referees in Abuja retained their badges after passing the programme.

The test was for Centre Referees, Assistant Referees, Beach Soccer Referees and Futsal Referees.Emmanuel Imiera, FIFA Physical Instructor, confirmed the results to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

NAN reports that FIFA, through the Nigeria Referees Association (NRA) carries out the test yearly to test the fitness level of the badged referees and to prepare them for the 2013/2014 season.

The test, which had both medical and physical exercise, was held from Aug. 27 to Aug. 29 with the medical tests taking two days before the physical test.The test included five male Centre and Assistant Referees each, three female Centre Referees, four Assistant Referees, three Futsal Referees and four Beach Soccer Referees.

Imiera said the test was the third quarter fitness programme to be carried out by the NRA.''Also, 14 male and five national referees participated in the fitness test to serve as replacements in case any of the FIFA badged referees failed.''He said 13 out of the male referees passed at the national level while only two of the females made the list.He noted that the success of the test would herald the FIFA Member Association (MA) course which external FIFA instructors would handle.

''The MA course will hold in the last week in September to keep the referees abreast of the amendments in the laws of the game.''We will also invite 20 of our elite referees so as to widen their knowledge and expand their horizon.''They will become more exposed as to what the FIFA amended laws of the game are.Reacting to the test, NRA President, Ahmed Maude, said the test was a success compared to the last edition.

''The 2013 fitness test was a success compared to last year that we had a casualty.''Now, those that were left out opted out themselves even before the test started,'' Maude said.He added that the success was a good omen that Nigerian referees would do better.''It is a good thing for our football that our FIFA badged referees are fit and up to the task.''And it is a good omen which means we have younger referees who are ready to work harder and the sky will be their limit.''Now, we are on course and we are maintaining our standard,'' the NRA president said.

Speaking about the national referees, Maude said since no FIFA-badged referee failed, none of the national referees would be called for the yearly test meant for their category.''It means they have done their yearly test, they will not be called for promotion to the Premier League.''They will not have to wait till October when some of their colleagues will be tested, their results will be carried over.''It is only those that failed in this test that will be recalled in October.
