About WorldReferee

The World's Largest Football Referee Database

WorldReferee.com is a dedicated reference site for football (soccer) referees worldwide. Founded in 2005, we have spent nearly two decades building the most comprehensive database of football referees available on the internet — covering match records, career statistics, competition history, and biographical information for referees across all six FIFA confederations.

Our database spans referees from UEFA (Europe), AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North & Central America), CONMEBOL (South America), and OFC (Oceania). From top-level international referees officiating at the FIFA World Cup to domestic league officials, we aim to document and preserve the careers of the people who keep the game fair.

What We Cover

For each referee in our database, we provide:

  • Match history — individual game records including teams, results, dates, and competition
  • Disciplinary statistics — yellow cards, red cards, second yellows, and penalties awarded per match
  • Career overview — competitions officiated, active years, and career totals
  • Competition coverage — from the FIFA World Cup and continental championships to the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and hundreds of other competitions

Beyond individual referee profiles, we publish news, analysis, and match reports focused on refereeing decisions, controversial calls, and the officiating profession as a whole.

Our Mission

Referees are an essential but often underappreciated part of football. Our goal is to give them the recognition and documentation they deserve. By making referee data freely accessible, we aim to:

  • Help fans, journalists, and analysts research the officials behind important matches
  • Provide a historical record of refereeing careers at all levels of the game
  • Foster greater understanding and respect for the refereeing profession
  • Support coaches, referees, and football associations with objective statistical data

Community-Driven Data

Much of our data has been gathered and verified with the help of our community. Football fans and referee enthusiasts from around the world have contributed match records, corrected errors, and helped expand our coverage over the years. Every referee profile has a Contribute form where anyone can submit match data, corrections, or career information for our team to review and add.

If you spot an error or know of missing match records, we encourage you to use the contribute form on the relevant referee's page. Your contributions help make WorldReferee more accurate and more complete for everyone.
