Like iThethao.vn Informed, in the announcement No. 883 issued on 12/5, the General Department of Sports and Sports issued a notice of stopping a number of MMA activities in 2023. More specifically, the National MMA Championship 2023 (scheduled in September) and the National MMA referee training course 2023 (expected in May) will not be organized according to the original plan anymore.
More notably, according to the date of issue from the General Department of Sports and Sports, the National MMA referee training course 2023 was canceled 9 days before the starting time as expected. That made some referees and coaches registered to join the referee training class in the “offside” scene, because they were so far worried that the time and funding for the long trip.
With the aim of careful preparation for the course, many referees and MMA coach Vietnam have booked airline tickets, as well as the hotel room near the training class venue as expected. The number of referees is “offside”, as noted iThethao.vnup to 15 people. Because they could not cancel air tickets or hotel rooms to get back the money, they decided to come to Da Nang.
Talk together iThethao.vnan arbitrator said: “We are all martial arts coaches working at the centers. To prepare for this training course, many people have to postpone the classes they are teaching, and notify the offer to the head of the office where they work. But in the end, the training class is canceled for objective reasons.”
The MMA referee training course is stopped at the time when MMA Vietnam is “thirsty” for the referee. After the Lion Championship 5 event, there were 3 MMA Vietnam referees disciplined by making mistakes in a match of the main event. However, current referees do not have a training course to improve professional quality.
