It's post-pandemic, and the players are back! But where are all the match officials? That's right - an unprecedented crisis in match officials availability is currently gripping the amateur soccer industry everywhere we turn and it's resulting in games and even major tournaments being cancelled.
In an unplanned detour from The Regista Room's original schedule of carefully thought-out episode themes, Paul Varian tackles this system-wide crisis that is extending around the world.
Hear the views of experts in North American match officiating, including Nicky Pearson from Ontario Soccer, Richard Bowden from the Oakville Soccer Club and Roger Morton, Chair of USA South for match officiating for US Youth Soccer.
Listen and find out just how widespread this current exodus is, where it has its roots, and what can be done to resolve it. What you hear may surprise you!
