As a part of the Refereeing Assistance Program, FIFA recently held a seminar for referee instructors in Sevilla (Spain). Among the 80 participants from five continents were former World Cup referees Jorge Larrionda (URU), Oscar Ruiz (COL), Luis Medina Cantalejo (ESP), Dagmar Damkova (CZE), Kari Seitz (USA).
Led by the FIFA Director of Refereeing Mustapha Fahmy, FIFA Head of Refereeing Massimo Busacca and FIFA Senior Manager of Refereeing Fernando Tresaco, the five-day FIFA referee instructor training event had several objectives: to provide the instructors new teaching materials and teaching/learning tools that have been developed by FIFA, to update the instructors on the current interpretations and application of the Laws of the Game, to examine the methodology of teaching in order to optimize the learning process for students. The objectives were accomplished through classroom and on-field sessions.
