Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The five-day FIFA MA Referee Course, organised by FUFA under the auspices of FIFA, was successfully completed today, 11th July 2025, at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru.<\/p>\n

FIFA Referee Technical Instructor Abdel Fatah Essam and FIFA Fitness Instructor Hannachi Boubaker conducted the course alongside a local referee instructor.<\/p>\n

The 30 referees successfully completed the intensive course, which comprised a fitness test, theory, and practical sessions. The course aims to enhance the knowledge, fitness, consistency, and overall performance of elite referees\u2014aligning their skills with international standards and preparing them for high-level competition.<\/p>\n

FUFA Executive Committee Member Samuel Mpiima, who represented the FUFA President at the closing ceremony, expressed his gratitude to the instructors for dedicating their time to impart valuable knowledge to the referees, who play a crucial role in the game.<\/p>\n

Mr Mpiima congratulated the referees on successfully completing the course and commended their performance during the recently concluded FUFA League season. However, he also challenged them to maintain discipline and prioritise fitness, emphasising its importance in advancing to higher levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been briefed that our fitness gadgets need to be improved to a standard that ensures better performance. I promise to deliver this message to the FUFA President. We don\u2019t want to fall short due to such gaps. We shall work to acquire equipment that meets the required standards,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

FIFA Technical Instructor Mr Abdel Fatah Essam thanked FUFA for its commitment to the development of Ugandan referees, and the Referees Committee for their vital contributions to the success of the course.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are here as referees to uphold the integrity of the game, to respect the laws of the game, and to conduct yourselves with honesty and professionalism,\u201d Mr Essam said.<\/p>\n

The closing ceremony was also attended by Chairman of the Referees Committee Mr Nsubuga Miiro, Referees Manager Mashood Ssali, FUFA Instructor Ali Tomusange, and FUFA Fitness and Physical Instructor Ali Karyango.<\/p>\n
