Premier League match officials have commenced a four-day intensive training programme at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. Running from September 7 to September 10, 2026, the course involves 28 Premier League referees and assistant referees, alongside various FIFA and support officials. The training focuses on technical knowledge, decision-making, and recent amendments to the Laws of the Game, including offside interpretation, handball decisions, and tactical foul management.
