The Barbados Football Association (BFA) was founded in 1910
and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2010.
Bridgetown, Barbados – Reaffirming its commitment
to match official development on the island, the Barbados Football Association
(BFA) today disclosed that BFA Head
of Refereeing Victor Moore recently attended the prestigious Concacaf Head of
Refereeing Workshop in Miami.
Held last
month, the intensive one-day development initiative consisted of over 30 Head of Refereeing representatives from
across Central America and the Caribbean.
The Workshop was designed to empower Member Associations (MAs) to continue to lead their Refereeing Departments
with strategic foresight, and in alignment with Concacaf’s vision to continue
to increase the quality of referee performance and professionalism within the
region.
Best practice case studies were presented to
participants to highlight how to create
the best path to success for their respective teams of referees, while emphasis
was also placed on accessing the relevant Concacaf educational materials,
courses, and programs now available to MAs so that they can develop a more
elite level of refereeing in their home countries.
BFA Head of Refereeing Victor Moore said being able
to network and learn from other Concacaf MA Refereeing Department Heads was an invaluable
experience that would add a strong foundation of support and synergy to his
role with the BFA.
“It was really great to be able to have access to
information about the diverse spectrum of educational opportunities available
to our referees through Concacaf,” he said. “Having the chance to connect with
my MA peers, and to discuss our specific challenges, was a good way to share
knowledge and to come up with collective suggested solutions for how each
Association can advance its refereeing strategy. I’m looking forward to being
able to provide the Concacaf learning opportunities showcased at the Workshop to
our Barbadian refereeing community, and to the BFA doing our part to increase
the number of FIFA Elite list and upper Tier referees coming out of Barbados that
would be available for selection by Concacaf.”
The BFA has reiterated that it will continue to
provide the highest standard of referee education, development, and training
opportunities for local referees to excel and be of benefit to the holistic
development of football in Barbados and beyond.
