FIFA’s referee boss Collina says violence against officals is a ‘cancer’ killing the game
December 14 – FIFA’s top refereeing administrator, former World Cup official Pierluigi Collina (pictured), has hit out at last Monday’s attack on Turkish referee Halil Umut Meler that made global headlines.
Collina, head of FIFA’s refereeing committee, said the assault by the president of top-flight club Ankaragucu, Faruk Koca, was an example of the “cancer” that is wrecking the game.
Ankaragucu conceded a 97th minute equaliser in their Super Lig clash against Rizespor before Koca and others rushed the field and assaulted Meler.
