President of the Nigeria Referees Association, Sani Zubairu, confirmed on Tuesday that the referees are already in training ahead of the commencement of the league on Saturday.
“We are in training already to get the referees used to the equipment. It will be used by all four referees for all the 380 matches of the NPFL, including the Federation Cup matches,” the NRA president told PUNCH Sports Extra.
“This will enhance the performance of our referees, as you cannot compare officials using gadgets with those that are not. So, we are still expecting more high-performance gadgets to be provided for our referees as time goes on.”
PUNCH Sports Extra gathered that the referees’ training is done in batches at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Meanwhile, for the second time in the last year, the referees will also be getting increased match indemnities.
