The Eastern Region Football Association (ERFA) has commenced a two-day training course for referees’ instructors and assessors in Kenema.
The training, which started on March 30, 2026, is being held at Rendezvous Guesthouse along Reservation Road and has brought together retired referees from Kailahun, Kenema, and Kono who now serve as instructors and assessors.
Speaking at the opening, representatives of the ERFA encouraged participants to be attentive and make the most of the training, noting that the knowledge gained will be passed on to active referees. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to improve refereeing standards in the region.
Officials also praised the current performance of referees in various leagues, including the Leone Rock Premier League, while urging continued professionalism and discipline.
The training is expected to conclude with an assessment and the presentation of certificates to participants.
