FIFA holds referees seminar focused on the 2027 Women’s World Cup | OneFootball

Last Saturday (21), the FIFA seminar for referees for the 2027 Women's World Cup began. The event, which is taking place at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Barra da Tijuca, is attended by instructors from the organization and the FIFA official responsible for women's refereeing, Bibiana Steinhaus-Webb. The entire staff organizing the refereeing for the World Cup is also present.

The president of the Refereeing Committee of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Rodrigo Cintra, and the vice-president, Marcelo Van Gasse, participated in the opening of the event. Edina Alves, Daiane Muniz, and Charly Deretti are the Brazilian representatives at the seminar.

“This is the second seminar we have participated in within less than a year, focused on refereeing for the 2027 World Cup, and this proves the importance of Brazil in this planning. It is a source of pride to have three referees pre-selected for this seminar, which is the largest in the category. I am confident that our three representatives have a chance to officiate in several matches of this competition. They are at the highest level of world refereeing and are part of our professionalized group. We wish everyone an excellent event. We will leave even more prepared, not only for the 2027 World Cup, but also for all our competitions, which are of the highest level and among the most difficult to referee in the world,” concluded Rodrigo Cintra.
