FIFA MA Refereeing Course Concludes

The five-day FIFA MA Refereeing Course has successfully concluded at the ANFA Complex. The closing ceremony was presided over by ANFA CEO Indraman Tuladhar, who also distributed certificates to all participants.

Conducted from November 20 to 24, the course was led by FIFA Referee Development Officer Mohamad Rodzali Bin Yacob and FIFA Technical Instructor Etsuko Fukano, with seven Nepali instructors supporting the sessions.

Over the week, 26 participants — including six women referees — took part in classroom lessons, video analysis, on-field practical drills, and fitness assessments aimed at enhancing decision-making, positioning, and overall refereeing standards. The program also helped strengthen the capacity of local referee instructors, contributing to long-term development and professionalism in Nepal’s refereeing structure.
