GFA Referees Committee Select 30 Referees To Undergo FIFA Elite Course

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Referees Committee has selected a total of 30 referees to partake in a scheduled FIFA Elite Course that will take place online.

The course which will run from 30th September to 2nd October 2020 will see Twenty Ghanaian FIFA Referees and Ten Class One Referees benefiting massively.

“The Referees Committee of the Ghana Football Association in consultation with the Assessors and Classification Panel have approved a list of Thirty Referees for next month’s FIFA/MA ELITE Online Course”, a communique from the GFA has indicated.

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 will be in charge of the physical and endurance test of these referees.

The referees will 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 will now take a new turn, as referees will go through the session on their own through a central monitoring system due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
