FIFA appoints match officials
FIFA have confirmed the trios of match officials who will participate in the forthcoming FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009.Representing all six confederations, the thirty match officials were selected from a list of prospective candidates for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.
Preparations for the match officials have been conducted under the guidance of FIFA´s Refereeing Assistance Programme (RAP), which was approved by the FIFA Executive Committee at the end of 2007. The basic objective of the RAP is to professionalise the environment in which referees develop and work at both national and international level.
The programme comprises two distinct but related parts. The first part is the preparation of match officials for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, with practical and theoretical sessions focusing on five core areas: technical, physical, psychological, medical and energy performance. The second part of RAP is the development of refereeing at member association level.
The FIFA Confederations Cup, also known as the "Festival of Champions”, will be staged at venues in four cities: Johannesburg, Tshwane/Pretoria, Rustenburg and Mangaung/Bloemfontein.
To be held between 14 and 28 June 2009, the FIFA Confederations Cup includes Brazil as Copa America winners, African champions Egypt, first-time Asian champions Iraq, 2006 FIFA World Cup™ winners Italy, Oceania champions New Zealand, hosts South Africa, European champions Spain, and CONCACAF Gold Cup winners, the USA.
