The Spanish Football Federation announced today the dismissal of all officials from the referees' technical committee, in a surprising move aimed at restructuring the refereeing sector.

The dismissals included Medina Cantalejo, the head of the committee, along with Clus Gomez, Rubinos Perez, and three vice presidents, in a comprehensive decision that affected the entire referees' technical committee.

The federation confirmed in its statement that the announcement of the new names that will take over the management of the technical committee will be made next week, as part of a comprehensive development plan to improve the performance of Spanish refereeing and rebuild trust in the system.

The refereeing file was one of the most controversial issues in Spanish football during the past season, due to many contentious cases that occurred in matches, especially those involving Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Several meetings were held last season between clubs, the Spanish Federation, and La Liga to discuss the restructuring of the referees' committee, where it is expected that the referees' technical committee will be independent from the Spanish Federation.
