Rwanda Footbal referees and their instructors have completed one week of training in preparation for the upcoming football season.

The training was a partnership between FIFA and CAF

Raoul Gisanura, the FERWAFA vice president, officiated in the closing of the training. In his remarks, he highlighted the role of referees in upholding the quality of football in Rwanda and encouraged them to extend their roles across the continent.

A total of 26 referees and assistants passed the test on Saturday whose focus was on Technique, Interpretation and Psychology of the game.
They were led by a team of 20 instructors who helped them in keeping up to date with the current rules and technicalities of the game.

FIFA’s Alain Mungwenge at the launch of training said, “this training program should help improving quality of football as a game. This is a role of referees teaching players what to do and what to avoid during the game.”
