Foreign referees have been invited to the Azerbaijan Basketball League (ABL). Sport24.az reports that this was announced by the press service of the Azerbaijan Basketball Federation.
Two foreign FIBA referees have been invited to officiate the play-in and play-off stages of the championship. Experienced referees Nemanja Vlahovic (Serbia) and Nace Mohorič (Slovenia) have already been part of the refereeing crew in the first play-in game. This step serves both to ensure fairer matches and to help young local referees gain experience.
It should be noted that the first games of the play-in stage were held on April 10-11. The second meetings will take place on April 13-14.
