Developing our future excellent FIFA referees needs the cooperation and commitment of all, all Maldivians. The referees department can only scouts and identify the talents, analyses their strength and weakness, give them the proper guidance and training of fitness and refereeing techniques beside giving them the correct frame of mind in refereeing. Develop them through exposure to matches in the lower level till the highest level in the local league. All these efforts will not reap the expected harvest without the roles of others. This definitely will need the cooperation not only from the FA, referees assessors, the senior referees, players but also the team officials and spectators.
Team officials will be part of the making of our future FIFA referees if they can be patient with the errors that may occur during their first match experience. Willing to accept if one of these youngster is appointed to officiate in their match. Accept with opened-mind without prejudice. Give their compliment openly when a good job is well-done. Refrain from criticism when minor error do occured. One such daring effort was taken when Baasil Nafees (20) took charge ot the VB Sports Club - Victory Sports Club match. Overall, he had a good game and control of the match for a first-timer except for some minor points in his refereeing techniques. All his decisions were correct when his performance was viewed. Many have had a negative opinion on this appointment but all senior referees must remember and cherish the past when they were given their first 'break' in their refereeing career! "A journey of a thousand miles begin with the first step". We hope everyone would give their cooperation, advice, guidance and morale support in the creation of our future FIFA referees, who may one day will make our Dhivehi land proud, inshaAllah.
