The Sri Lanka Basketball Federation, in collaboration with FIBA Asia, successfully organized the National Referee Development Program from 30th May to 1st June 2026. This landmark initiative was designed to strengthen the skills and knowledge of referees across the country, ensuring alignment with international standards.
An extensive workshop was conducted by Mr. Mohammad Al Amiri, a distinguished FIBA Referee Instructor from Kuwait, who generously shared his expertise and deep insights into modern officiating practices. His sessions provided invaluable guidance on technical precision, game management, and the evolving role of referees in fostering fair play.
A special note of gratitude is extended to FIBA Asia for their unwavering support in empowering national federations and investing in the professional growth of referees in Sri Lanka.
