Kuala Lumpur: Asia's officials have gathered for the AFC Referee Instructors & Assessors Seminars which began on Monday in the Malaysian capital.
A total of 78 Instructors and Assessors are part of the four-day seminars which are divided into two-parts: The Instructors on Feb 5 followed by the Assessors from Feb 6-8, 2018.
AFC Director of Referees Shamsul Maidin, who opened the seminar on behalf of AFC General Secretary Dato’ Windsor John, said: "The AFC has set out its Vision and Mission to ensure that our officials, players and teams excel on the biggest stages across the world. Our collective mandate is to see more Asian referees officiate more high profile matches."
"As assessors, all of you play an important role in ensuring our match officials not only deal with the mounting pressures of modern day refereeing, but rise above the occasion.
"The world’s attention will be on our referees during the FIFA World Cup in Russia and Asia’s premier national team competition – the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 is just 11 months away. It is imperative therefore that you complement your expertise with the latest developments of the rules and best practices."
