The third FIFA seminar for referees pre-selected for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup takes place in Zurich, Switzerland, from 19 to 23 September 2016. Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli is currently on his honeymoon and will be missing this seminar. However, his assistants (Di Liberatore and Tonolini) are participating along with referees Orsato and Rocchi. At this time, it is not clear whether Rizzoli had withdrawn from the selection for the 2018 World Cup and his ARs have been re-assigned to Rocchi/Orsato or why Rocchi’s usual assistants are not attending the course. On the women’s side, only referees have been invited to this seminar. Potential candidates Staubli, Vitulano, Kulcsar and Larsson are not able to participate due to being assigned Euro qualifiers on 19-20 September 2016.
