YOGYAKARTA - Referee in football matches is not only one. The number of referees in football is several with different tasks. Indeed, the referee is the most striking or seen only one on the field during football matches.

The referee who was on the pitch during the match was the main referee who led the course of football which went smoothly and fairly. However, in his duties he was accompanied by several other referees who helped oversee the incidents during the match.

Professional football matches employ as many as 4 official referees. The referees consist overall of two head referees, two referee assistants, and a reserve referee.

However, since the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, the number of referees has increased. Now there is a position of referee on duty in the VAR room. Here's the number of referees in football matches.

The head referee is the main referee who oversees and leads the way for football matches. The referee carried out his duties by being on the field during the match.

The role of the head referee is most highlighted than other referees for being the party who made the decision on the incidents that occurred during the match. The head referee has a big responsibility to condition the football game running smoothly, under control, and fairly.

Here are the tasks of the head referee during football matches.

The assistant referee's position in the football match is not visible compared to the head referee. The referee's assistant is tasked with assisting the head referee in overseeing the match. The referee's assistant is two people and his position is on both sides of the field.

The referee's assistant is also referred to as an additional eye for the head referee. The referee's assistant has a double role, as the sideline supervisor for the throw-in and is on the edge of the goal or offside.

The referee's assistant is more popular with being called a line judge. The decision taken by the linesman will be considered by the head referee. However, the final decision remains in the hands of the head referee. The following are the tasks of the linesman.

The position of the reserve referee is more unrecognized than the two referees above. The reserve wasti acts as a substitute referee if the main referee cannot continue his duties. The referee is on the sidelines of the field between the posts of the two soccer team managers or the rest room.

The reserve referee is also in charge of holding the substitution number. In addition, the referee also helped monitor or oversee the course of the match from the sidelines. The referee also has the task of mediating incidents that occurred between team officials and players on the bench. Here are some of the reserve referees' duties.

VAR referees are a new position or additional referee since the implementation of VAR technology. VAR technology is a recording tool to assist referees in making decisions when an incident occurs. This tool helps the referee's decision to be made more appropriately and fairly.

The VAR referee is in a special VAR room. The referee is tasked with monitoring VAR video operations and communicating them to the head referee in every incident that needs a deeper review.

VAR referees help referees make decisions through inspection of VAR videos from various angles. Usually VAR reviews are needed for incidents such as offside, violations, goal doubts, and so on.

That's the number of referees in football and their respective duties. At first glance, only the main referee or head referee is the most visible presence and role. However, in carrying out the task of supervising and leading the match, the head referee was assisted by other referees.
