MADRID, 3 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Technical Committee of Referees (CTA) of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFRF) will hold different meetings with the coaches and players of LaLiga Santander and LaLiga SmartBank over the next few days to update them as usual on the news for this campaign.
As indicated this Wednesday by the RFEF, the CTA chaired by Luis Medina Cantalejo will meet electronically on Tuesday, August 9, with the First and Second technical bodies on its own initiative and with the RFEF Coaches Committee “to expand arbitration training and also listen first-hand to their concerns and requests”.
A day later, the committee will present the refereeing news to the media at the Ciudad del Fútbol de La Rozas (Madrid), with whom it will also hold a traditional training session on Thursday to continue with its idea of ”continuing to advance in a more open, plural and close estate”. The meeting will feature, in addition to Medina Cantalejo, the director of the VAR Project, Carlos Clos Gómez, and Alberto Undiano Mallenco, a member of the technical commission.
On the other hand, once it is possible to return to the format of face-to-face meetings, the CTA “has made a referee of the same category or higher available to each club to explain first-hand the news and refereeing guidelines for the season that is about to start”.
These meetings have already taken place and the first top-flight clubs to receive it have been Getafe, by the specific VAR of LaLiga Santander, Santiago Jaime Latre, and Rayo Vallecano, by referee Miguel Ángel Ortiz Arias. . In LaLiga SmartBank, Real Sporting de Gijón and Real Oviedo were the first teams to feature Pablo González Fuertes and Víctor Areces Franco, respectively.
