World Cup Officials Hold Mandatory Meetings and Distribute Free Tickets
Referees for the 2026 World Cup undergo an intensive program that includes technical meetings, physical training, and security and technical arrangements, all under a carefully organized system for transportation and accommodation by FIFA. Two Saudi referees are participating in the tournament, and the program places significant emphasis on nutrition, with referees following specific meal schedules and avoiding sugars before matches. They also hold daily virtual meetings to review refereeing cases, travel in escort vehicles with security teams, and are prioritized to arrive at the stadiums at least an hour and a half to two hours before matches to ensure readiness. Additionally, recovery sessions are organized after games, along with medical follow-up programs to maintain their preparedness throughout the tournament. Each referee is allocated eight tickets for their family members and friends.
