FIFA instructors lead training in Madrid
The second day at the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), in Madrid, was centered on cognitive activities. This work involved the referees' information-processing during matches combined with decision-making and execution in fractions of a second. The work was divided into two periods due to the intense heat in the Spanish capital.
In the morning, referees from the CBF PRO category carried out cognitive activities on the RFEF field, alternating with strength work in the gym. The sessions were coordinated by Jean-Baptiste Bultynck, FIFA physical and technical refereeing analyst, and by Jorge Martinez, coordinator of the physical department of the Spanish Football Federation. For Anderson Daronco, the work carried out in Madrid strengthens refereeing professionals, but also shows the strength of the group.
"This work is a way for us to grow, to grow individually, but also to grow as a collective of referees. We spoke with professionals from another continent, analyzed the way they approach refereeing, and also studied the content from FIFA instructors. This is the moment to absorb all these guidelines and put them into practice in Brazil. Each referee is making the most of it, whether through the physical work being done here, a training methodology, or the technical side. But also through some guidance. It is truly very beneficial to be here," said the center referee.

In the afternoon, Lada Rojc, FIFA technical instructor, led three sessions of theoretical classes and video analysis for the Brazilian referees. The agenda included decision-making and new FIFA methodologies related to on-field infractions. The idea of football's governing body is to keep the ball in play for longer during matches.

"We are working on some of the qualities within the physical activities that a referee needs to have, especially to perform well on the field, in the demands of football, in all its dynamics. It is work on strength, endurance, speed, high intensity, and also technical instruction. These are very valuable activities for us and for the development of Brazilian referees. I am sure that, with this experience and these exchanges, we will see major progress for the resumption of the Brazilian Championship," said Daiane Muniz.
