About the Game



Most people think that the work of a soccer referee on the field is an easy task. In our new production, you can see how it really is.
Because it is up to the referee how the whole spectacle will look like.



It is the referee who decides how much players can push themselves giving them warnings or cards, or even turning a blind eye to minor infractions. On this depends the charisma of the referee and the respect with which the players treat him.
And the more mistakes they make, the more time they spend when watching VAR replays or consulting the other referees, the less respect the players have for him and the more they allow themselves.



A good referee must also strategically spread his strength over the whole game to avoid a situation where the action is happening beyond his reach. You can take a moment to relax with constant parts of the game or browsing the VAR, but this will not help to regenerate strength.



Obvious errors in the assessment of the situation, apart from the fact that after each match, the referee’s work is assessed by the referee commission, cause brawls on the pitch and very stressful disapproval of the audience. And in stress, it is easier to make further mistakes.

Start with league matches to referee increasingly serious matches, and finally be the main referee at the World Cup!
