In a bid to return to the summit of football
refereeing, 115 Nigerian referees have
been selected to undergo a 15-day
intensive training from FIFA referring
instructors.
The training will see a total of 35
participants taking part in the Women
Referees Course, while 40 participants are in
the Futsal Referees Course and another 40
are involved in the Elite Men Referees Course.
It would be recalled that no Nigerian referee
has officiated at the FIFA World Cup while
CAF in the last decade has not considered
any Nigerian referee for the Africa Cup of
Nations. Due to lack of consistency in the
nomination of referees for FIFA and CAF
seminars, Nigerian referees were always
ignored by these football bodies.
Speaking yesterday during a visit by the
instructors, the President of Nigeria Football
Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau called
on FIFA refereeing instructors who are in
Nigeria, to help improve the lot of Nigerian
referees to a level that they would be
regularly considered for major FIFA and CAF
assignments.

“We have our teams regularly taking part in
major competitions in Africa and the world,
and it is always a painful thing seeing
referees from other countries while we
hardly get to see our own compatriots of
the whistle. We want you to take up this
assignment beyond the regular instruction
courses; you should endeavour to
communicate with them all the time,
encourage them, support them and give
them tips that will keep improving them to
get to the top,” Gusau told the FIFA team.
The FIFA instructors, led by Gladys Lengwe
from Zambia, also includes Houssein Ali
Mohamed from Djibouti, Said Nouri from
Morocco and Bento Navesse from
Mozambique. They are in Nigeria to
superintend a Women Referees Course, a
Futsal Referees Course and an Elite Men
Referees Course, all happening between 1st
– 15th July 2023.
The women referees’ course and futsal
referees’ course, which began on Saturday,
will end on Thursday, 6th July, while the elite
men referees’ course will take centre stage
between 9th – 15th July.
