Thirty Ghanaian Referees to undergo FIFA Elite course

Accra, Aug. 17, GNA – The Referees Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in consultation with the Assessors and Classification Panel, have approved a list of 30 referees for next month’s Federation of International Football Association (FIFA)/MA ELITE Online Course.

The FIFA course would run from 30th September to 2nd October 2020.

The list includes 20 FIFA Referees and 10 Cass One Referees. GFA Physical Instructors, Anthony Tetteh-Opae, Augustine Fugah and Vivian Aggor who are responsible for the Training Theory and the fitness of referees and their training would be in charge of the physical and endurance test of these referees.

The referees would undergo an individual confinement test on Core & Static and YOYO Test before the main course in September. The physical test that normally takes place at one location would now take a new turn, as referees would go through the session on their own through a central monitoring system due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
