At today’s MIAA Football Committee Meeting, the 2021 Football Tournament (November – December 2021) was voted and approved. All eight division semi-final and final games will be officiated by seven-person crews. This means an additional 48 officials will be working the games! At the end of the meeting, there was an opportunity for ANEFO members to ask some excellent questions.
