At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Football Association of Uzbekistan that took place this summer, Ravshan Irmatov was elected vice-president of the UFA.

“I want to express my gratitude for the high confidence placed in me by the respected President Shavkat Miramanovich Mirziyoyev and all of you. In addition, I express my gratitude to all the leaders and specialists of our football, who in different years made their invaluable contribution to the development of our football. Honestly, for me to be on the football field seems more comfortable than staying here. But my conscience will not let me stay away knowing about the serious and responsible tasks facing our football, since I love my country and football. Of course, football is a team game. If we are all united, worthily and fairly will honour our veterans, experts, fans and all like-minded people will work together and serve one purpose, I am sure that we will overcome any difficulties. I would like to once again thank all of you”, said Ravshan Irmatov, the new vice-president of Uzbek FA. (Source: UFA)

With less than three months to go before the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019 kicks off, the FIFA Referees Committee has appointed 20 trios of match officials, 5 support referees and 17 video assistant referees (VARs), representing all six confederations. This competition in Brazil will give ambitious FIFA referees the opportunity to showcase their quality while taking another big step in their careers. Referee preparation for the prestigious youth competition will be organized by the FIFA Refereeing Department and will focus on a wide range of topics, including officials’ reading of the game, football understanding, positioning to adjudge offside, teamwork, good decision-making, and the importance of taking up the best position or angle - i.e. being in the right place at the right time. All of these aspects reflect the philosophy of FIFA Refereeing and are key to referee preparation. As such, they are vital to the attainment of consistency and uniformity at elite level of refereeing. Following on from the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017, where Switzerland’s Esther Staubli officiated one game, FIFA has again selected female referees for a men’s tournament. Claudia Umpierrez and Luciana Mascarana from Uruguay will team up with Monica Amboya from Ecuador to form a trio during the tournament, while Edina Alves from Brazil has been appointed as a support referee. In addition, Bibiana Steinhaus (Germany) and Quetzalli Alvarado (Mexico) have been named among the VARs for this competition. The FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019 will take place in Brasilia (Gama), Goiania and Vitoria (Cariacica) between 26 October and 17 November 2019. The final will be played at the Estadio Bezerrao in Brasilia on 17 November. (Source: FIFA)
