Sierra Leone referee, Ibrahim Bristo Kamara is part of 52 other participants currently undergoing an advanced education program in the FIFA Referee Instructor course, in Tanzania.
Kamara says the course is about training new instructors to fully assist the senior ones in the FIFA Member Associations for uniformity in the interpretation of the Laws of the Game and for the growth of refereeing worldwide.
He stated that the course has given him the opportunity to meet and interact with senior referees from different countries, and since it is also a sharing platform, it will help him to gain more experience in refereeing.
The course is divided into two major aspects, the Physical Fitness Methodology and the Technical aspect which have other components such as teaching methods, injury prevention, and developing fitness through training to meet the requirements of international and national assignments for the good of the game.
The referees association is following Kamara’s participation with keen interest and they hope he will quickly get acquainted with other referees so as to gain more knowledge.
