It is worth noting that the referee seminar, which is taking place at the Khusma Hotel in Tashkent, is attended by 23 referees and 2 observers from CAFA member countries. This was reported by the Football Federation of Turkmenistan.

Two Turkmen referees, Resul Mamedov and Arslan Goshshanov, are participating in the seminar. The seminar focused on the changes made by FIFA to the regulations for football competitions, as well as to the VAR system, which will be adopted by CAFA in 2025.

Training and seminars of this kind are very important for referees, as football is constantly evolving, and the rules of the game are periodically updated and modified by the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA). Familiarization with the latest changes in the rules and trends in refereeing helps referees maintain a high level of professionalism and ensure fairness and objectivity during matches.

It should be noted that the participation of Turkmen referees in the CAFA seminar contributes not only to their personal professional growth, but also to the overall development of football in Turkmenistan.

For further context, the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) is a subdivision and association within the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). It unites the football federations of Afghanistan, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

Swedes played table tennis for over 13 hours to set a world record

The Guinness Book of World Records has recognized a new achievement: Swedes Emil Ulsson and Fredrik Nilsson, known as the Spin Duo, held the longest continuous table tennis tournament in a basement. It lasted 13 hours, 37 minutes, and 6 seconds, reports United Press International.

According to the established rules, the game must not be interrupted, which meant that snacks had to be eaten and numb hands had to be massaged while simultaneously hitting the ball. To prepare for the challenging tournament, the Spin Duo trained regularly for four months.

According to the newly minted record holders, the most difficult thing was to concentrate so that nothing distracted them and the ball was always in sight. Therefore, most of the game took place in complete silence, although Ulsson and Nilsson's relatives and friends were in the basement for 13 hours.
