FIFA has decided to split the assistant referees pre-selected for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in two groups. The first seminar, for CAF and UEFA assistant referees, is running from 29 October to 2 November 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland. The ARs from AFC, CONMEBOL, CONCACAF and OFC will attend a similar course from 12 to 16 November. Following Euro 2012, there are three replacements on the UEFA list: Darren Cann instead of Peter Kirkup (ENG), Tiago Trigo replaced Ricardo Santos (POR) and Bojan Ul instead of Gregor Rojko (SVN). Due to the snow, the sprint tests have been moved indoor (photo). During the following days, there will be in-class and on-field sessions specifically designed for assistant referees.
