International Referee Sapir Berman Fails Fitness Tests, Misses Start of Israeli Premier League Season
Sapir Berman, an international football referee, will not officiate the opening matches of the Israeli Premier League season after failing the fitness tests required by the Referees Association. The tests, conducted ahead of the league's start, are mandatory to ensure referees meet basic physical standards. This marks the second time in her career that Berman has failed these assessments, but it is the first occurrence since she attained international referee status. Berman will have the opportunity to retake the fitness tests at the Wingate Institute at a later date, potentially allowing her to return to officiating in subsequent rounds of the league.
