Grabas at the PFL Referee Combine

13.28

The Professional Futsal League launched in January 2015. League play will begin in November 2016 with teams from established professional brands as well as new futsal clubs. The PFL International Challenge featured FC Barcelona, PFL Team Mexico and PFL Team USA in a three-day tournament. The PFL hosted both a player and a referee combine at City Futsal in Dallas prior to the PFL International Challenge, providing opportunity for players and referees alike. Canadian national referee Chris Grabas (QC, photo) was amongst the 22 referees who attended the event and he was appointed as Second Referee to the match between PFL Team USA � PFL Team Mexico.
�Even though we don't kick off until November 2016, we feel it is imperative that we start identifying and developing both futsal players and referees for our league and its teams,� PFL commissioner Tozer said. �This is the first of several combines that we have planned nationally and internationally for North America, Central America, South America and Europe". Futsal referee instructor Ed Marco led the referee combine. Marco is the only FIFA futsal referee instructor in the United States and one of 21 in the world. �This first combine is a huge step in providing top-level training and exposure for players and referees,� Marco said. �This is the only time that I can think of when players and referees have come together for development and identification. What an exciting time for futsal�. Additional staff for the combine included Shane Butler, the only FIFA Futsal Referee Shane Butler from the USA. (Source: PFL)
