In the lead-up to the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores Final, the chosen referees have engaged in thorough and demanding training sessions designed to optimize their on-field performance.
The preparation program covers multiple critical areas, including the enforcement of the latest regulations, fitness conditioning, and psychological readiness. Officials are trained extensively on the nuances of gameplay to uphold fairness and maintain game integrity.
Experienced referees and regulatory experts lead workshops and simulation drills, allowing officials to practice decision-making under pressure. This method helps simulate real-match conditions, ensuring that referees remain calm and accurate when making split-second calls.
“The preparation process is intense but crucial to achieving the level of precision and consistency required in a match as significant as the CONMEBOL Libertadores Final.”
Officials are also familiarized with the latest technological tools, such as Video Assistant Referee (VAR) systems, to enhance decision accuracy while minimizing human error.
This detailed and multifaceted preparation approach ensures referees are well-equipped physically, mentally, and technologically to manage one of South America's most prestigious football finals.
