Clériston Clay joins the CBF refereeing commission | OneFootball

The Refereeing Committee of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has a new member: Clériston Clay. The 47-year-old professional joins to strengthen the project for decentralization and development of Brazilian refereeing. Clériston had been working as an AVAR (assistant video assistant referee) in Brazilian Championship matches and has 26 years of experience in Brazilian refereeing, including 22 with the CBF.

“Clériston Clay’s arrival strengthens our regionalization project and, especially, our work in the Northeast. He will play an important role in identifying new talent, developing professionals, and bringing local realities closer to the Refereeing Committee’s guidelines. The idea is to build an increasingly integrated refereeing structure, with opportunities for new talent and a development process aligned nationwide, while respecting the characteristics of each region,” said Netto Góes, CBF’s Director of Refereeing.

“Like the other members of the Committee, Clériston Clay has extensive national and international experience and enjoys recognized credibility among the refereeing panel. His trajectory and ability to build connections will contribute significantly to the strengthening and development of refereeing, especially in the regionalization process,” said Sandro Meira Ricci, president of the CBF Refereeing Committee.
