From 30 June to 9 July 2023, the European Championship for Masters (veterans) takes place in Nottingham. It is an FIH (Fédération Internationale de Hockey) accredited tournament, where competition will take place in 4 age categories (ladies and gentlemen): 35+, 40+, 45+ and 50+.

“Good communication between the 2 referees is an absolute must during every match to provide clarity to the teams at this level and, of course, to make the right decisions.”

Referees

It promises to be a grand European Championship with more than 40 participating (national) teams. The matches will be managed by 40 referees (including 7 Dutch) and an equal number of officials. During the tournament, the referees will work with the AXIWI communication system to manage the matches even better.

Last year, the communication system was also used during the World Championship and Robert Kieboom, Umpires Manager for the referees, said at the time: “Good communication between the 2 referees is an absolute must during every match to provide clarity to the teams at this level and, of course, to make the right decisions.”

Naturally, we at Axitour are proud to support the referees once again with the AXIWI communication systems. Through the website and our social media, we will keep you informed about the event and how the referees experience working with the AXIWI headsets.

Wireless referee communication system

In sports, including at amateur level, it is increasingly common for multiple referees to manage a match as a team. For effective communication between referees, AXIWI introduces the wireless, hands-free referee communication system. The AXIWI communication system is very affordable compared to its competitors: other brands are 3 to 6 times more expensive! Meanwhile, AXIWI is successfully used in sports such as handball, korfball, basketball, football, hockey, volleyball, baseball, water polo, rugby, ice hockey and floorball.
