Last month we published here for the first time that the referees' association is looking to rejuvenate and open the refereeing positions in Israeli football to new markets.
Among other things, we published about the association's appeal to the Bar Association with the aim of admitting lawyers to the children's and boys' leagues who will take a course in law.
Three weeks after the publication of the ad in the Football Association know how to report success in advertising with more than 400 lawyers who applied for details and a desire to participate in the football referees course.
The association was surprised by the amount and desire to judge children's games, probably in a year when the referees of the Premier League and the National League suffer from an image problem and the problematic level that leads to countless mistakes.
"The desire to add another tier to the lawyers' professional lives is a refreshing surprise for us and we are still learning its meaning."
Said the association.
Following the success with the lawyers, the association is considering working with the referees' association to reach out to other audiences in order to see if it is possible to change the way a referee is treated in Israel: not only as a frustrated footballer to stay in the industry. .
