Referee errors should reach the lowest percentage

In this conclusion, Nabi stated: While thanking Afsharian, Daniyal Moradi, Masoud Moradi, Ismail Safiri and Ali Khosravi, I must say that I was absent at the opening ceremony due to participating in a meeting at the Ministry of Sports.

He added: When I came to the federation in 1380, Nazari was working as the head of the judges committee. We had a meeting with Safai Farahani and other friends in the arbitration department as a small discussion. Over 200,000 competitions are held in the country every year, which is no joke. Kobel wants the referee and the organizers of the game so that the audience who is on the platform can cheer and be happy and sad. We thank the late Nazari, Bahman Bahlouli, the late Namdar, Daud Nasiri, etc. for their efforts and cherish their memory. At that time, the policy was based on moving from quantity to quality, the number of classes increased and people from different parts of the country participated in these classes.

The first vice president of the Football Federation noted: These classes were fruitful and now we are witnessing the presence of the most qualitative referees in the upcoming matches. Every person who wants to judge on the field must have different parameters. In this period, we must provide the space and environment in such a way that we have more facilities and easier imaginations.

Our referees can camp in different cities and we must provide them with such an environment. In this case, our football returns to a lower error rate during the match. Afsharian announced the percentage of refereeing errors. The program and budget organization also leaves a percentage for mistakes in all projects. For example, it says that you have a 3% error in the discussion of dam construction, but when this percentage increases, more attention should be paid so that it decreases and reaches a reasonable level.

Nabi stated: Decisions should also be made regarding the judges’ fees. Part of your work is your interest in football and you would like to work in this field at the national and international level. In addition, when you go through the stages of refereeing, the federation should also give you this space to improve because along with the referees’ progress, our football will also progress.

He added: The next issue is the discussion of VAR, which will come in God’s hope. Of course, I think that according to your good judgment, this system will be used less in the Premier League, God willing, but VR will help improve the atmosphere inside and outside the stadium.

In this sector, the federation must make efforts. Of course, our friends had a mission and referred to FIFA. We hope to see the entry of this system soon.

The member of the head of the federation said: referees have a series of inherent responsibilities that should not be changed with any attitude. Your protection is the responsibility of Afsharian, Bande, Taj and other officials of the federation and league organization. We must admit that our fans are special and very good, but the bench of the teams must be taken care of. This debate is also the responsibility of our judiciary, which should have a bench that does not provoke the audience. The CEOs of the clubs should also help in this sector according to their inherent duty.

Nabi added: According to my experience, refereeing mistakes last season did not affect the table, but the number of mistakes should be reduced. Judges should be protected as the main arm of the judges committee. Before, after and during the match, there is a lot of pressure on the referees’ committee and the federation, 99% of which is unconventional and unacceptable. We hope that according to the existing mindset in the country’s sports community, we should all take action to develop refereeing.

The current referees are the role models of the next generation. I hope that we will have a very good season ahead in the new season with your support and the special help of the federation and the judges’ committee.
