According to Cintra, the content of the meeting is part of a set of guidelines developed by FIFA’s refereeing commission, led by Pierluigi Collina and Massimo Busacca, since January of this year. “It is not just a matter of rule changes, but also of refereeing positioning and behavior, so that the teams are prepared to deal with these new situations,” he explained.

For Juan Santos, this alignment is necessary so that the coaching staff can guide the players on every detail they should pay attention to during the World Cup. “It was a very important meeting, especially because some significant rules were changed for the World Cup. It is new for everyone, and this way we can clear up any doubts. We should go over this content again with the players so that everyone arrives at the World Cup aware of the changes,” he said.
