Rugby Africa announces establishment of Referee Committee 02/11/21
The Rugby Africa (RA) [www.RugbyAfrique.com] Referee Committee, formally launched at its inaugural meeting in December, was founded to – amongst others - establish an African referee panel, monitor its growth and development, further the development of African match officials and monitor the Laws of the Game and playing trends on the continent.
“The Referee Committee is the culmination of close to 10 years of work that RA has done to develop a panel, with the first month-long referee camps held in Stellenbosch in 2013. Thanks to our dedicated partnerships with SARU and the FFR to fast track and promote our referees, this official commission goes one step further in structuring our efforts and to professionalise our competitions management,” explains Nasser Bougja, RA Executive member.
