How Referee Assignments Are Made
The TFF Merkez Hakem Kurulu determines weekly referee assignments throughout the season based on a digital assignment system and performance criteria. The referees who will take up their duties in the first week of the new season are selected based on physical test results from pre-season training camps and their performance history. In this context, Melih Aldemir and his team have been assigned to officiate the match at Antalya during the opening week.
This determined referee team will be closely monitored by the sports community if they contribute positively to the game.
