Referees' training match in Madrid
Training match for referees in Madrid
After two days of physical tests, theoretical classes, and cognitive work, the referees in the CBF PRO category took to the field this Wednesday (8) for activities simulating real match situations. The Refereeing Committee was joined by Ousadia FC, from Barcelona, made up exclusively of Brazilian players and competing in the Quarta Catalana, one of the promotion divisions in Spanish football.
The president of the CBF Refereeing Committee, Sandro Meira Ricci, praised the work done by the referees during the activity, as well as Ousadia FC’s commitment to the purpose of the exercise.

It’s a different perspective; it’s not a professional team’s training scrimmage. And Ousadia FC was very professional and did high-level work, putting our referees in match situations such as penalties, fouls, offsides, and important decisions. We had a high-level training session today that impressed the FIFA instructors who followed the activity,” said Sandro.

Making a living from football is not easy. We go through countless things, and today’s training gave us a new perspective on refereeing. Choosing a career as a referee is not easy. Attention to physical work, but also to the psychological side. It’s very important to be by their side, to get to know a referee up close, and to truly see that they are great people,” said the number 10, who, besides being a player, is also the creator of the Spanish team’s project.
