The event brought together prospective and experienced referees alongside technical and fitness instructors.

Both theoretical and practical sessions gave the new referees high-level training for their development.

It was also meant to prepare them for upcoming tournaments such as the CONCACAF Nations League Final Four, the Champions Cup and the Gold Cup.
