NFF postpones referees fitness test indefinitely

Nigeria Referees Association’s fitness test for all categories of referees and assessors earlier scheduled for November16 has been postponed indefinitely.
Sani Zubairu, Nigeria Football Federation’s Head of Referees Unit, told the News
Agency of Nigeria that the decision was based on conflicting medical reports.
Zubairu said that the central medical team of NFF was not satisfied with some alterations on medical reports of some of the referees.
He said: “The central medical team discovered some alterations on the medical reports of some of the referees from various states.
“So, we decided to postpone the test indefinitely to enable persons affected to come up with acceptable reports without alterations.”
The NFF’s Head of Referees Unit, however, said that his office would meet with the committee on November 15 to address the issue.
NAN reports that NRA had scheduled November16 as date for commencement of pre-league season fitness test for all categories of its members.
