The Egyptian Football Association has officially settled the formation of the new Main Referees Committee, appointing former international referee Essam Abdel Fattah as its chairman, as part of a comprehensive plan to reorganize Egyptian refereeing and improve technical and administrative performance in the coming period.
The decision comes at a time when Egyptian football is seeking to enhance refereeing standards and rely on major experiences to address mistakes and provide a more advanced image in domestic competitions and various tournaments. ⭐
📢 Essam Abdel Fattah Leads New Leadership
The Egyptian FA selected Essam Abdel Fattah to head the Main Referees Committee, relying on his long experience in refereeing, both during his career on the pitch and through his technical and administrative work after retirement.
Abdel Fattah is considered one of Egypt’s most prominent refereeing figures, having officiated major matches locally and internationally while gaining wide experience in referees’ development and preparing new generations.
The Egyptian FA hopes that Abdel Fattah’s return to the committee’s leadership will help establish a more organized system for developing referees and keeping pace with modern football standards.
🏆 New Committee Formation
The new Main Referees Committee includes several experienced names in Egyptian refereeing, as follows:
- Essam Abdel Fattah: Chairman of the Main Referees Committee.
- Gamal El-Ghandour: Vice Chairman of the Committee.
- Samir Othman: Vice Chairman of the Committee.
- Wadie Ahmed: Committee Member.
- Mahmoud Ashour: Committee Member.
The new formation combines different refereeing experiences in an attempt to build a system capable of handling the challenges facing referees during matches.
🔥 A New Plan to Develop Egyptian Refereeing
The role of the new committee is not limited to managing referees’ affairs, as the Egyptian FA aims to implement an integrated development plan that includes improving technical levels, enhancing on-field performance, and discovering new refereeing talents capable of representing Egypt internationally.
The FA also decided to complete the formation of the Technical Referees Committee and Referees Academy in the upcoming period, with the goal of creating a complete system for preparing referees from early stages until reaching the highest levels.
The establishment and development of the referees academy follows a global approach adopted by many football associations, helping prepare new generations with technical knowledge, physical fitness, and the ability to handle match pressure.
✨ Major Challenges Await the New Committee
The new referees committee faces several important challenges, including improving the image of Egyptian refereeing, reducing influential mistakes, and increasing confidence between clubs, fans, and the refereeing system.
The use of modern technology in refereeing, especially VAR, will also be among the key files requiring continuous monitoring to ensure maximum benefit during matches.
Observers believe the success of the new committee will depend on its ability to establish clear standards for referee selection, provide continuous training programs, and ensure fairness and transparency in refereeing management.
