As we all know, football match officials, especially referees, enter the football match venue on behalf of the highest organizational authority to specifically manage the game. Today, with the development of electronic image photography technology, any mistakes made by football referees on the court spread all over the world in an instant. If the psychological quality is not too hard, football law enforcers with poor referee skills will naturally be eliminated. There are 1237963 registered male and female football referees at all levels in the world today, and there are millions of referees regardless of futsal or beach football.
Although the FIFA Referee Committee gives 208 national football associations in the world the right to recommend no more than 10 male international referees and no more than 10 male international assistants every year, in theory, there are 4 160 registered international football referees every year. However, in the list of international football referees that came into effect after 20 10 New Year's Day this year, there are only 2,093 people, and the football associations in most countries or regions have not filled the quota.
According to article 1 in Chapter 9 of FIFA's Rules for the 20 10 South Africa World Cup Men's Football Championship, the officials of each World Cup match, namely the referee, two assistant referees, the fourth referee and the fifth referee (alternate referee), are decided by the collective voting of the current FIFA Referee Committee 18 members. This 18 member consists of football referees and scholars or retired international referees. All members of the FIFA Referee Committee are nominated by the FIFA President and approved by the FIFA Executive Committee according to fifa statutes. The term of office of the FIFA Referee Committee is 65438+2009 10 to 65438+February 2000.
Before 1985, the referee who can be selected for the World Cup must be a registered international football referee, and at least the main whistle has passed two official A-level international competitions. After 1985, the then FIFA Referee Committee, at the suggestion of then FIFA Secretary-General Blatter, decided that the football referees selected for the World Cup must perform well in the World Young Men's Football Championship, the World Young Men's Football Championship and the Olympic Men's Football Championship directly organized by FIFA before they can be selected as football referees for the World Cup.
According to the old practice of Havelange, the seventh president of FIFA, when he was in power, the referee list of the World Cup was announced 90 days before the opening day of the competition. However, at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the FIFA Referee Committee listened to the suggestion of then FIFA President Blatter and thought that football referees in developing countries should enforce the law more, which caused a lot of controversy, especially the controversy related to the host South Korea team, which attracted overwhelming criticism from the global football media, especially the European football media. To this end, the FIFA Referee Committee, under the leadership of its chairman, Spanish lawyer Vera, announced 4.
Referee list of four candidates.
At present, the chairman of FIFA's referee committee is Spanish lawyer Vera and the vice-chairman is Brazilian lawyer teixeira, but the official members of FIFA's referee committee have increased from 15 to 18. Because the refereeing disputes in the last World Cup in Germany were significantly lower than before, the FIFA Referee Committee summed up the experience or lessons and announced the list of candidate referees 657 days before the start of the game.
It turns out that the referee committees of UEFA, South American Football Association, North American and Chinese American Football Associations began to implement the "three-person system" of football referee law enforcement in succession in the 1990s, that is, after the referees of various state football associations appoint referees for each international match, the referees themselves choose two assistant referees, instead of the way in which referees directly appoint three match officials in the past. This arrangement of referees is conducive to the tacit cooperation of the three referees, reducing the omission or misjudgment, and the practice results are satisfactory to all parties. However, the number of referees of African Football Association, Oceania Football Association and Asian Football Association in each World Cup is limited. For the sake of the harmony of domestic football referees, the referees of these three continents recommended assistant referees for the FIFA World Cup, which were selected by the referees of these countries instead of referees. On 201May 15, the FIFA Referee Committee officially announced the list of elected football referees, and Mu Yuxin, a physical education teacher in Tianjin, China, was also gloriously elected.
