Scott Kidson 10th best Futsal Referee in the world!
Futsal Planet announces the winner of the Best Referee for 2012
AGLA FUTSAL AWARDS 2012 – BEST REFEREE OF THE WORLD
The futsal party goes on, and we’ve reached the third day of the Futsalplanet Awards, the most traditional prizes of futsal!
As we always say, there’s no game without referees, so that the third category of the AGLA Futsal Awards 2012 is dedicated to the priceless work of the black whistles, a basic part of the game.
The attention they deserve is increasing year after year in every remote corner of the futsal globe, as well as their knowledge and preparation through confederations and local FAs courses. This process have dramatically increased the level of their performances, and things are getting even better.
Let’s remind that in the current edition of the worldwide prizes we have re-introduced the voting system, in order to make the futsal community more and more involved. Every “voter” had the chance to indicate three preferences from the 10 nominees list, assigning respectively 5, 3 and 1 points to his choices.
We hope to make this futsal party bigger in the next editions, may futsal be the winner!
Now is time: who’s the best referee of the world? We’re back to the “2004 origins”, as the winner is coming from Spain again: congratulations to Fernando Gutierrez Lumbreras!

This Spanish gentleman did a very good job in our World Cup game against Mexico. The fact that we had a nice chat before the game might have helped our cause. He was just glad to converse with someone in Spanish…
I think I beat the Mexican coach to the punch!
