REFEX - Referee Exchange

CEE Cup 2019

Top class tournament for teams from central and eastern Europe but also famous international youth teams. This tournament is really on a top level that gives best chances for your own refereeing development. Not only by the challenging games, also with other top referees to learn from. 15 games on 5 days being played at 2-3 fields in Prague. The games are full 90 minutes, a referee in the middle + two linesmen + 4th official. The high level of the tournament requires only the best referees. We prefer well experienced referees with good physical condition as the games can be both physically and mentally demanding. Absolute need for the referees to have deep experience as head referee with lines man and well trained as lines man. Best tournament for younger referees on the way to the top. There should be maximum of 2 games a day for each referee (1 game in the middle and 1 game as a 4th official, or two lines). Referees will have a lot of time to explore the beautiful city of Prague. 2018 winner was Palmeiras from Brasil first league team.
