How Many Referees Are There In A Football Game?

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    In football there is a total of four staff that act as referees. There is primarily just one referee who is given complete authority and power to enforce the laws of the game of football. The referee is assisted by two subordinates or assistant referees and sometimes by an additional fourth official. The match is presided over by the referee with the assistance of his or her subordinates.

    In American football there are a total of seven officials who preside over a game. There is a main referee and he is assisted by the Head Linesman, the Line Judge, the Umpire, the back Judge, the Side Judge and finally the Field Judge. Rugby football has a referee on the field along with two touch judges. A video referee is also part of the referee team.

      There are 4 official referees in a football game. The main one is the normal referee who runs on the field, giving fouls, yellow or red cards, penalties and so on. There are also 2 linesmen They each carry a flag. They see offsides and also see if it is a corner or a throw in. The fourth referee is there to control the managers and to keep record of substitutes in the match.
      But now FIFA is looking to add 2 more linesmen because the judgement errors in terms of offsides are increasing.
