During the seminar, the participants took part in physical, medical, psychological and technical checks. There was also a possibility for the referees and their assistants to practice some real-life situations, what appeared to be very useful.
According to Mr Massimo Busacca, FIFA's Head of Refereeing, the participants of the seminar were really motivated and dedicated to what they do. Their hard work will certainly be useful during the event.
On 7 March another seminar will start. It will be organised for the referees from North, Central America and the Caribbean and South America, and Africa. It will also take place in Zurich.
