14) The four-second count

Referees were reminded that this is mandatory

in the following situations :

It is recommended that referees should

clearly and visible count the 4 seconds

with their fingers

15) Subsequent responsibilities of R who whistles for a foul

The same R who whistles for a foul should
be the one who enters the pitch to administer
cautions, sendings off and to ensure the five
metre distance if required. In the latter case he
should clearly pace out the 5 m by walking
BACKWARDS from the ball...... tbc

16) Confirmation of goal scored

The referee should confirm that a goal

is valid by giving one or two medium

lenght blasts on their whistle (no more).

POSITIONING
19. Basic principle
The basic principle of positioning should be that the two main referees maintain a position that keeps the ball between them at all times.

20. Control of play
During play one referee should control
the action area and the other the influence area,
with the aim of not having both referees looking
at the ball at the same time.

21. Control of the goal line
It was noted that it is important to
have a good control of the goal line.
Consequently, at least one referee
should always be paying attention to this.

22. Physical condition
Having a good physical condition will help referees stay in control
for the entire duration of a match and be in the best possible position
for making correct decisions. This also gives referee credibility.

REFEREE PROCEDURE AT UEFA MATCHES
23. The referees concluded that they should warm up on the field of play forty minutes before kick-off. One minute before kick-off the first and second referees should check the goals, whilst the third referee checks the number of people on the benches, which according to the UEFA Futsal Regulations should be no more than six officials and seven substitutes. The first and second referees should also check the goals before commencing the second half of the match.
