Federico Beligoy: “I would like a woman to direct the First Division on the field” | The general secretary of the referees’ union and general director of arbitration bets on equality

The general secretary of the refereeing union and general director of Arbitration, Federico Beligoy, stated that he would like “for a woman to direct the First Division on the field” in Argentine soccer, while mentioning what technological changes he would like to implement in addition to VAR.

“I would like a woman to direct the First Division on the field, there are several who do so as assistants and fourth referees, but I would like the time to come when a female referee can direct a First Division match, for example,” Beligoy said in statements. to TyC Sports.

On the other hand, he referred to the use of new tools: “We are doing well in terms of technology. Another leap would be in another issue, such as the automatic clock that detects whether the ball enters or does not enter the goal.”

However, he explained: “It is due to an economic issue, it is a very expensive system, it demands many changes in all the playing fields of the 28 teams in the league.”

Finally, Beligoy spoke about his dual role in Argentine refereeing: “I don’t fire anyone, my department doesn’t fire or incorporate anyone, that’s done by AFA human resources. Obviously, if they want to fire a referee without any cause “I am the first at the door of the AFA defending the cause.”
