The Futsal Planet website, which introduces the nominees for receiving the best awards in the futsal world at the end of each year, has put the name of Iranian leading referee Gelareh Nazemi among the top 10 nominees to receive the best referee award this year.
Prior to this, three Iranian futsal player Farzaneh Tavasoli, Fatemeh Etemadi and Alireza Samimi had been nominated for the best goalkeeper and players of the year by the same website. But this is the first time an Iranian futsal referee has been picked for the highly prestigious award.
It was announced a few days ago that Nazemi along with another Iranian female referee Zari Fathi had been invited to officiate at UEFA Women's Futsal EURO 2019 final tournament.
