We are pleased to present the list of NEW European FIFA referees for 2020.

Čeferin, Çakır and the Subjugation of Refereeing at UEFA

Aleksander Čeferin's recent interview sent the sharpest message yet that independent refereeing is under real threat; the fight is on, not only to save Cüneyt Çakır from being the fall guy of Čeferin's centralisation of power, but in so order to save refereeing itself from being sold out to business interests. 

New refereeing duo in Aleksander Čeferin's plans?

Who will be promoted to UEFA Elite Category?

An update of UEFA Referee Categories is expected on next days. Time for predictions, mostly about the possible new Elite referees.
