violence in amateur football

like fupa , the violence against referee, especially in amateur football, increases. The "Meet the Ref" initiative aims to promote the dialogue between referees and players in order to raise awareness of mutual respect and fairness. This became particularly clear in a shocking argument in Landsberg, in which a referee was seriously injured after showing a red card to a player who had insulted him. Such incidents make it clear why the exchange about the challenges on the pitch is so important. Lahm and Šašić, who are now also coaches in the youth field, want to promote respect for the topic of respect in football and emphasize how important it is to train young talents in a respectful environment by participating in the panel discussion.
