Football Association of Maldives have just completed the FUTSAL Referee Basic Course held on the 28 July till 2 August 2009. 23 participants successfully completed the course. They underwent theory and practical sessions, tested on their fitness and also on identifying fouls and misconduct through video tests. The successful participants will be put to test by exposing them to refereeing in order to gain their confidence in the YDP Festival competition. They will gain their refereeing experiences when officiating the matches. Hopefully this group of new FUTSAL referees will be able to officiate in all other tournaments in Male.
Other existing referees will be given a refresher course, theory test, fitness test and also be registered as FAM FUTSAL referees if they qualified. So in future, FAM will have a different sets of referees in the normal game and the FUTSAL games. FAM is also intending to raise the standards of organising of these competitions and thus the standards of the game will also be raised. Hopefully by 2011 or 2012, referees can be nominated to be registered as FIFA FUTSAL Referees.
