PANJIM: The Goa Football Association (GFA) will be conducting a new referees course on weekends, starting from June 1, 2024. This course offers referees the opportunity to officiate in GFA leagues, with potential promotions to officiate at All-India tournaments such as the ISL and I-League, and eventually becoming International Referees.
Recently, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) has begun recruiting full-time professional elite referees on contract, offering a remuneration of approximately Rs 80,000 per month. The GFA also intends to provide training on the laws of the game to referees who may not progress further in their careers.
