The Football Association of Malawi (FAM) has launched a project targeting potential referees from young tertiary students as one way of improving match officiation in the country.
The Association has since advertised for Refereeing Grade 3 training targeting tertiary students only.
FAM Referees Development Manager Fredrick Khoropa said the goal is to fill the gap left by retiring referees and also develop more competent referees for international level.
“We need to train more the referees to make sure that the number we have is maintained because we some are retiring due to age.
“Referees have a very important role and must be able to control and interpret the laws of the game, which are written in English. So, we need educated referees who will be better equipped to understand and apply the laws of the game.
“By targeting tertiary students, we also aim to raise the standard of refereeing in Malawi and ensure that the country can produce officials who keep with international referees demand,” said Kholopa.
