Striking Referee Decision from the English Football Federation
The English Football Federation is preparing to make a significant change in the Premier League. A new regulation is being introduced regarding the referees, who attracted great reaction from the clubs due to the controversial decisions made by the referees during the last season.
The Federation announced to the public the decision taken to enable referees to manage in a more fair and impartial manner in the Premier League. This new practice will be valid from the 2024-25 season.
Details of the New Regulation:
- The referees will announce which team they sympathize with.
- Not every referee will be able to take part in the matches of the team he supports.
- This practice aims to increase the impartiality of referees and prevent controversial decisions.
This decision is expected to make competition in the Premier League healthier and increase confidence in referees. This development, which is being watched carefully in the football world, may lead to less criticism of referees’ decisions.
