The appointment, confirmed on Wednesday, sees the Spanish official take on the top role overseeing match officials in the Central European nation.\n\nClos Gómez brings a wealth of experience to his new position. He most recently served as the head of VAR operations for Spain's Technical Committee of Referees (CTA), working alongside prominent figures such as Sánchez Arminio, Velasco Carballo, and Luis Medina Cantalejo. His tenure in Spain was marked by his involvement in the integration and oversight of video assistant referee technology.\n\nThe announcement draws a line under his extensive career in Spanish football administration. Before his VAR role, Clos Gómez was a top-flight referee in La Liga, officiating hundreds of matches across more than a decade. His transition into administrative roles was seen as a natural progression, leveraging his on-field experience to shape referee standards.\n\nHis move to the Czech Republic represents a continental shift in his career. As the new head of refereeing, he will be responsible for the training, evaluation, and performance of referees in the Czech league system, as well as representing Czech officiating in UEFA and FIFA forums. The appointment is seen as an effort to modernize and raise the standards of refereeing in the country.\n\nSpanish refereeing circles have reacted positively to the news. The CTA issued a statement congratulating Clos Gómez, highlighting his dedication and professionalism. His departure from the Spanish federation leaves a vacancy in the VAR department, but sources suggest that a successor will be named shortly.\n\nThe Czech Football Association expressed enthusiasm about the appointment, noting that Clos Gómez's international experience and technical expertise will be invaluable. They anticipate improvements in consistency and use of technology, particularly as the Czech league explores further integration of VAR.\n\nClos Gómez's new role is effective immediately. He will relocate to Prague in the coming weeks to begin his tenure. His first major task will be to oversee the upcoming season's referee assignments and to initiate training programs for officials.\n\nBased on reporting from Fútbol.","news","Carlos Clos Gómez, formerly in charge of VAR operations for Spain's refereeing committee, has been appointed as the new head of refereeing for the Czech Republic. The move marks a significant international role for the experienced official.","327181045529055233","326135624820068352","La Liga","0","2026-05-06T02:34:00Z","former-spanish-var-chief-clos-gomez-takes-helm-of-czech-refereeing","Mundo Deportivo","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Finternacional\u002F20260505\u002F1004179377\u002Fclos-gomez-nombrado-nuevo-presidente-arbitral-republica-checa.html","326222712290676736","Czechia",[74,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84],"326222711653142528","326222712592666624","326255039884562432","326257537865224192","326257545754710016","326257554411753472","326257556060114944","326222707169431552",[75,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93],"Spain","Congo DR","Vardar Skopje","Estoril","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Estudiantes L.P.","Anderlecht","Former Spanish VAR Chief Clos Gómez Takes Helm of Czech Refereeing",[96,124,146,170],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":97,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":98,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":99,"slug":100,"sourceName":101,"sourceURL":102,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":105,"teamNames":114,"title":123},"Barcelona win La Liga 2025-26 led by Lamine Yamal; Real Madrid's season implodes after Xabi Alonso exit, a dressing room fight, and Pérez's bizarre presser.","337883108965617665","2026-06-04T07:00:29Z","la-liga-2025-26-barcelona-dominate-as-real-madrid-implode","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fjun\u002F04\u002Fla-liga-2025-26-awards-best-players-team-sid-lowe","326257565535047680","Real Madrid",[103,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113],"326257641489698816","326255041704890368","326257565702819840","326257565363081216","326257565434384384","326257565602156544","326257565195309056","326257565316943872",[104,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122],"Inter de Valdemoro","Rayo Vallecano","Real Sociedad","Villarreal","Celta Vigo","Real Betis","Barcelona","Valencia","La Liga 2025-26: Barcelona Dominate as Real Madrid Implode",{"awayTeamId":125,"awayTeamName":126,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":127,"homeTeamId":128,"homeTeamName":129,"id":130,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":131,"matchName":132,"publishedAt":99,"slug":133,"sourceName":101,"sourceURL":134,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":135,"teamNames":140,"title":145},"326222713175674880","Curaçao","Antonio Rüdiger joins UNHCR, using his family's escape from Sierra Leone's civil war to challenge refugee stereotypes ahead of the World Cup.","326222712076767232","Germany","337882782623600641","327115038563241984","Germany vs Curaçao","why-rudiger-backs-refugees-family-s-civil-war-escape","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fjun\u002F04\u002Fantonio-rudiger-refugees-have-no-other-choice-its-important-they-be-listened-to",[103,128,125,136,137,138,77,139],"326257791503175680","326257546220277760","326222711569256448","326257536049090560",[104,129,126,141,142,143,86,144],"Sierra Leone","Chelsea","Brazil","Nice","Why Rüdiger Backs Refugees: Family's Civil War Escape",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":147,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":148,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":149,"slug":150,"sourceName":151,"sourceURL":152,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":153,"teamNames":161,"title":169},"Ibrahima Konate is in advanced talks to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, making him the second Liverpool player to join Madrid on a free in two years.","337298705826713601","2026-06-02T16:15:09Z","konate-to-real-madrid-27-year-old-set-for-free-transfer","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcx218elj1v0o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[103,154,155,156,84,157,158,159,77,160],"326257545918287872","326222711447621632","326257534526558208","326257613643714560","326257766752587776","326257809182167040","326257575404244992",[104,162,163,164,93,165,166,167,86,168],"Liverpool","France","RB Leipzig","Hassania Agadir","Fortaleza EC","Oldham","Vanløse","Konate to Real Madrid: 27-Year-Old Set for Free Transfer",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":171,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":172,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":173,"slug":174,"sourceName":175,"sourceURL":176,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":177,"teamNames":184,"title":191},"France international Ibrahima Konaté is nearing a transfer to Real Madrid after talks advanced in the last 48 hours, per ESPN sources.
