This inaugural course is a key initiative aimed at strengthening the foundation of field hockey in Iraq. By developing a pool of qualified umpires, the program plays a crucial role in raising the sport’s standards at both grassroots and competitive levels, paving the way for future growth.
Participants are actively engaged in interactive sessions, practical demonstrations, and discussions on the latest officiating standards. The course is designed to instill confidence and competence, preparing them to officiate in both domestic and international competitions.
With the course nearing its conclusion, the impact of this initiative is already being felt, setting the stage for a new era of hockey officiating in Iraq.
