The Rio Maior Sports Centre was chosen for the
first graduations by the newly Referees Academy of the Portuguese Football
Federation.
This new Academy aims to develop the national
refereeing, improving the training and guidelines of football referees, futsal,
beach football and also the observers.
Over the months of June and July all the
graduations and courses will be in the Rio Rio Maior Sports Centre. The groups
of referees, directors and speakers will stay housed in Center Stage, using the
many of the facilities as the auditorium, the training rooms and the pitches
for practical exercises.
