The general assembly of the arbitrators of Vaucluse was held last week, in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, relays

Le Dauphiné Libéré

.

Those present notably mentioned recurring problems in recent weeks on the football fields: altercations, violence, insults or racism.

Problems that do not yet find solutions, despite the imposition of sanctions

The chairman of the referees committee has thus invited his colleagues to be unavailable on the weekend of December 10 and 11, while championship matches are to take place.

Several matches should therefore be held without official referees.

A movement that is already followed by 82 referees in the district.

“An alarming subject”

The vice-president of the Grand Vaucluse District explained that he wanted to “solve this important problem through dialogue.

We will bring the referees together on Monday to analyze the situation and jointly seek solutions”.

The referees commission had published a press release at the end of last week.

She alerted “all amateur football players to an alarming subject.

Following the recent events against the referees, we are particularly affected by the moral significance of the actions and words they suffered”.
