While referee debates in Turkish football have been going on for years, TFF is preparing to take a remarkable step on the issue.
The revolutionary decision, which will put an end to the discussions on referee appointments, is planned to be implemented next season.
According to the news reported by Fanatik, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) and the clubs reached an agreement to establish an Independent Referee Board.
The project in question received approval from all clubs competing in professional leagues.
The Independent Referee Board project, inspired by the German model, is planned to be implemented as of next season.
The details of the project were mentioned in the news as follows:
TFF and professional clubs will establish a company each. These two companies will establish a new company with 5 members. 3 of the members will be determined by TFF and 2 will be determined by the clubs. This company, consisting of 5 members, will appoint an Independent Arbitration Board.
The Independent Referee Board, which will start its activities on a professional basis, will have the authority to appoint and sanction all kinds of referees, including the determination of classification referees. With this structure, the Board will ensure that clubs have an absolute say in referee appointments.
The Independent Referee Board will be able to make independent decisions from the TFF and the clubs on the appointment of foreign referees and VAR referees, if necessary. It is stated that the model in this form is the same as the German model, but has similarities with the British model.
Federation professionals, led by TFF Manager Mustafa Eröğüt, will come together with club representatives today and present the new system.
