President of APAF, Luciano Gonçalves, is this week's guest on Final Cut. Fulfilling his last term as head of the Portuguese Association of Football Referees, Luciano Gonçalves does not stop looking at the next steps for Portuguese football. With the inevitable change of leadership in the main body that controls Portuguese football, the former referee leaves one thing certain. “If Pedro Proença advances to the FPF elections, we [APAF] will be with him.” The sport is constantly evolving and another question is also raised, regarding the space for women in arbitration at the highest level. “A referee in the Portuguese League could have been yesterday”, says Luciano Gonçalves. “We cannot continue with arbitration without a truly professional structure”, adds the president of APAF, who believes that total professionalization will be the next step. #sportstailors #podcast #football https://sportstailors.pt/ / sportstailors / sportstailors / sportstailors
