How to become a FIBA official referee?
According to FIBA regulations (page 136-137), each national member federation has the right to choose the candidates for the title of "FIBA Referee” from amongst its best national referees. A national member federation may have an unlimited number of FIBA referees.
- In order to obtain the title of FIBA referee, the candidates must:
l Be proposed officially by their member federation.
l Participate in a clinic for FIBA referee candidates.
l Pass theoretical (basketball rules), and physical fitness and practical (officiating the game) tests. Only the official tests and examinations established by the FIBA Technical Commission are valid.
- Clinics shall be organised by the FIBA Technical Commission with the assistance of the FIBA Secretariat. They may be organised also by a Zone Technical Commission. In this event, the programme and the names of the FIBA Instructors conducting the clinic must be submitted to the FIBA Secretariat for approval.
- A Zone Technical Commission may impose an age limit on FIBA referees from the member federations under its jurisdiction. However such a proposal must be submitted to the FIBA Central Board for approval before it is implemented.
