The formation of the new committee comes as part of the Egyptian FA’s efforts to achieve comprehensive development within the refereeing system, not only in match management but also in preparing a new generation of referees capable of keeping pace with global football developments.
The committee is expected to develop special programs for referees, including continuous training, performance analysis, and the use of modern football technology, especially VAR, to reduce mistakes and improve the quality of refereeing decisions.
The federation also plans to complete the formation of the technical refereeing committee and referees academy, aiming to create a strong foundation of young talents who can manage major matches in the future.
Major Challenges Await the New Committee 📢
Despite the great experience of the committee members, the mission will not be easy, especially with the high expectations of clubs and fans who always demand greater fairness on the pitch.
One of the main challenges facing the new committee will be improving referee performance, unifying decision-making standards, and developing mechanisms for selecting referees for important matches to increase confidence in the refereeing system.
The committee will also face the challenge of dealing with continuous criticism surrounding refereeing decisions, making effective communication and transparency among the most important factors for success in the upcoming period.
