The Fiji Football Association Referees Committee will come down hard on referees, if they fail to perform this season.

Many soccer referees were criticised last season and many complaints were also received against them from the various districts, as their conduct of the game was not up to par.

With the Champion vs Champion soccer series starting on Sunday, the three district officials from Navua, Ba and Lautoka are hoping that referees will perform to the level that is required, as alot of money is spent in preparations.

Fiji FA Referees Chairman Faiyaz Ali said selected referees for CVC series have been told what to do and what is expected from them.
