The Nigeria Referees Association has fixed December 4 for the commencement of fitness test for referees and match assessors nationwide.
The test is to be conducted at the National Stadium in Abuja.
The General-Secretary of the NRA, Moroof Oluwa, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday.
Oluwa said the fitness test was imperative for healthier and better officiating of matches.
He said that the physical test, which would be preceded by medical tests, would be done in batches of north and south groups.
He said: “All Premier League referees from the southern states are to report for medical test on Dec. 3; undertake physical test on December 4 and seminar on December 5 and December 6.
“Northern states would do their medical test on December 5 and undertake physical fitness test on December 6 while seminar would be December 7 and December 8 for them.”
NAN recalls that the Nigeria Football Federation had postponed the fitness test, scheduled earlier for November 6, indefinitely on medical grounds.
