International Competitions - December 31, 2020 14:55Futsalplanet Awards 2020Best Referee in the World, nomineesAre you ready? Let's start!
After celebrating our 20th edition of the annual Futsal Awards in 2019, we're now looking for the next... twenty! As for some inexplicable reasons this enormous passion neither vanishes nor diminishes we are more than glad to go on with the international party of futsal! Once again the most traditional and recognized futsal prizes annually released by Futsalplanet.com will celebrate the real actors of the game, featuring an increased participation of women futsal with two more categories involved! And we can anticipate that the 2021 edition will also award the Best Female National Team and Best Female National Team Coach, something that unfortunately we could not add this year due to the very reduced amount of women futsal games in the international stage.
So, as reported yesterday and as we did in 2019, we're going to launch the Futsalplanet Awards 2020 nominees announcement through the Best Referee in the World category!
Once again we want to underline the reason to do that: referees are so important for the game! So why don't we help them rather than using their names and decisions as a systematic justification for any defeat?
We repudiate this way of living sport and confirm our support for the refereeing sector! Thanks for your invaluable job!
So, the list is ready: find out the ten nominees for the Best Referee in the World category: who will win?
