Rosetti praises the "100% preparation" of European Championship referees

The Italian Robert RosettiThe UEFA chief referee assured that the team of referees selected for the European Championship in England which starts on July 6 “is the best UEFA has” for this competition and “one hundred percent ready”.

rosetti pparticipated with the Czech Dagmar Damkovahead of refereeing at UEFA, at a four -day workshop in Istanbul with the group, which includes Spanish Marta Huerta de Aza, as main referee, and Guadalupe Porras, as assistant, along with Guillermo Cuadra Fernández and José María Sánchez Martínez, as VAR assistants, who will debut in the competition.

“I think this group is the best UEFA has experienced for a Women’s European Championship. They are professionals and have a great attitude. This European Championship is going to be a fantastic occasion, and we are one hundred percent that We are preparing not only for the present, but also for the future, “Rosetti assured, as reported by UEFA.

Former referee Dagmar Damkova also indicated that they took advantage of the Istanbul workshop “to create a team”, after a long process of three years to make the selection, in which the referees followed “continuously”, and the group brings together experienced referees along with younger ones.

Rosetti considered that refereeing had to adapt to the evolution of women’s football and that aspects such as “the greater physical preparation of the players meant the game was faster and faster” and the referees “had to fit this trend. “

She also referred to VAR’s premiere at the Women’s Euro Cup, a tool that “should give them a greater incentive to be calm and focused.” “The decision -making on the pitch should be left to the referees, but the VARs will clearly be willing to intervene in the event of a clear and obvious mistake,” he said.

Dagmar Damková pointed out that the European Championship refereeing team can also inspire women and young women to take up refereeing. “National associations are encouraging an increase in the number of female umpires. When I’ve talked to younger umpires, someone says they started umpires after seeing the best female umpires in tournaments,” she added.

The European Championship in England, which will run from July 6 to 31, will feature, within the cooperation and exchange program between UEFA and Conmebol, Venezuelan Emikar Calderas Barrera and his assistants, Migdalia Rodríguez Chirino (Venezuela) and Mary Blanco Bolívar (Colombia), while a European team will participate in the women’s Copa América in Colombia.

It will be composed of Portuguese Sandra Braz Bastos, with her compatriot Andreia Catarina Ferreira Sousa and Spanish Rita Cabañero Mompó as assistants (Spain).
