Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, this preparation was anything, but easy, as in-presence activities were suspended for a long period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic affected our activities, in particular in 2020 and at the beginning of 2021. Luckily, the World Cup was still quite far, and we had enough time to provide the candidates with good preparation. We are announcing these selections well in advance as we want to work even harder with all those who have been appointed for the FIFA World Cup, monitoring them in the next months. The message is clear: don\u2019t rest on your laurels, keep working hard and prepare yourselves very seriously for the World Cup,\u201d said Collina.<\/p>\n<p>Massimo Busacca, FIFA\u2019s Director of Refereeing, ensures the match officials will receive all the necessary support by FIFA, as their preparation is paramount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to an innovative tracking and support programme, all the match officials can be supervised by FIFA referees\u2019 instructors even more closely and intensively than in previous years. This is a very important factor, from which we expect considerable improvements and progress in view of the FIFA World Cup 2022,\u201d explained Busacca. \u201cIn addition to that, there will be tailor-made individual programmes, in particular concerning health and fitness. Each match official will be carefully monitored in the next months with a final assessment on technical, physical and medical aspects to be made shortly before the World Cup, in order to have them in the best conditions when the ball starts rolling in Qatar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The selected match officials will participate in early summer in several seminars (Asunci\u00f3n, Madrid and Doha), reviewing and analysing video clips of real match situations, and taking part in practical training sessions with players, which will be filmed to enable participants to receive instant feedback from the instructors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe key focuses of the preparation remain protecting players and the image of the game, consistency, uniformity, reading the game from a technical and tactical perspective and understanding a variety of player and team mentalities,\u201d added Busacca. \u201cWe can\u2019t eliminate all mistakes, but we will do everything we can to reduce them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The VAR system was implemented for the first time ever at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia\u2122 and four years later, a team of 24 video match officials (VMOs) will operate in Qatar, ready to provide their team-mates on the pitch with technological support, if needed. Due to the very limited number of FIFA member associations having implemented the VAR system at the time, VMOs for Russia 2018 were mainly selected from Europe and South America. Today, the VAR system is used in all major competitions worldwide and VMOs from Asia, Africa, as well as Central and North America will also participate in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Referees Committee has also appointed three women&#8217;s referees and three women&#8217;s assistant referees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very happy that with St\u00e9phanie Frappart from France, Salima Mukansanga from Rwanda and Yoshimi Yamashita from Japan, as well as assistant referees Neuza Back from Brazil, Karen D\u00edaz Medina from Mexico and Kathryn Nesbitt from the USA, we have been able to call up female match officials for the first time in the history of a FIFA World Cup. This concludes a long process that began several years ago with the deployment of female referees at FIFA men\u2019s junior and senior tournaments. In this way, we clearly emphasise that it is quality that counts for us and not gender. I would hope that in the future, the selection of elite women\u2019s match officials for important men\u2019s competitions will be perceived as something normal and no longer as sensational. They deserve to be at the FIFA World Cup\u2122 because they constantly perform at a really high level, and that\u2019s the important factor for us,\u201d concluded the chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee Pierluigi Collina.
