Endurance for football referees
Endurance for football referees
Unless you are living under a stone, you noticed that the quadrennial pinnacle of football officially has started ⚽
Do you know FIFA's rationale and approach to endurance training and testing in elite match officials?
And do you know why endurance is (very) important for the first referee?
A referee even told me: "if you can read the game, speed is not that important - endurance is".
Every sport becomes (even) more fascinating with increasing awareness of its needs and challenges.
Enjoy FWC2026!
