has implemented “Professional Referee System” in order for the top-level referees to fully concentrate on refereeing. Professional Referees (PR) will strive to improve their level of refereeing at the same time contribute to the refereeing in Japan as a whole by giving lectures and participating in other instructional activities across the nation. Currently, 14 referees and 4 assistant referees have contract as Professional Referees (PR) with the JFA. </p> <h5>Referees</h5> <div class="profile_list"> <ul class="clearfix mT20"> <li><div
