LAHORE – Karachi will host the PFF Grass Root Referees Course from February 2-7. Sindh Football Association (SFA), with the collaboration of Pakistan Football Federation (PFF), will organize the six-day course during which 24 participants from various districts of Sindh and Balochistan will turn up.
It will be one of the two such courses in year 2011 during which prominent AFC/PFF referee instructors will give lectures to under-24 referees. “The course will equip referees with the knowledge and skills to take charge of the coming matches in PPFL, PFF League and Age-Croup competitions. Most of the referees are new to the discipline and are therefore in need of the course to give them a solid platform for development,” said PFF Secretary General Ahmed Yar Khan Lodhi, who asked SFA to submit a list of 24 participants plus four reserves.
All the arrangements are being completed to host the course in a befitting manner. “During the course, referees will learn both practical and theoretical aspects of refereeing. The best referees may be asked to further develop their skills in the AFC Talent Acceleration Referee’s Course,” said Lodhi.
