Regional 

Each of the FIBA Regional Offices (RO) in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania has a Referee Manager, who is the closest counterpart of the FIBA Referee Operations and is responsible for FIBA officiating at the regional level. Their main task is the implementation of FIBA's global refereeing programme and to work closely with the national federations in their regions.
