The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has announced a refresher course for referee inspectors in Mbankomo, from February 19 to 21, 2026. This initiative aims to strengthen the skills and update the knowledge of the inspectors, who are key players in the evaluation and supervision of refereeing in Cameroon.
Two official statements were published by FECAFOOT to inform stakeholders. The first, numbered 010, is intended for referee inspectors selected to participate in this refresher course. It details the practical arrangements for their participation, including logistical aspects and the training program. The second statement, number 009, is addressed to the instructors who will lead the course. It specifies their roles and responsibilities in transmitting knowledge and assessing the skills of the inspectors.
The Mbankomo course is part of FECAFOOT's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of refereeing in national competitions. By investing in the training and development of inspectors, the federation aims to ensure a more rigorous and objective evaluation of referee performance, thereby contributing to the fairness and transparency of matches.
Continuing education for referees and inspectors is crucial for the development of Cameroonian football. It allows them to adapt to the constant changes in the rules of the game and refereeing techniques, while ensuring uniform application of directives throughout the country. This refresher course in Mbankomo is therefore an important step in this continuous improvement process.
Referee inspectors play an essential role in the smooth running of competitions, as they are responsible for evaluating the performance of referees and providing recommendations for their development. Their expertise and impartiality are essential to ensure the integrity of the game and the confidence of Cameroonian football stakeholders. FECAFOOT is counting on this course to strengthen these qualities and ensure quality refereeing on the field.
