Science of Sports is developing a referee performance analysis offering — applying the same methodology behind our work with the CFA National Teams to the analysis of refereeing decisions, positioning and match management.
Built around the same principles as our player and team analysis — objective measurement, structured data, video-linked feedback — applied to the on-pitch officials.
Structured review of every key decision — fouls, cards, advantages, offsides. Aligned with IFAB Laws of the Game and federation guidelines.
How well the referee was positioned for the key moments. Diagonal coverage, distances, sightlines, sprint patterns.
Game-management indicators: temperature management, time control, communication with players, consistency across the match.
The initial product is designed for institutional buyers — federations responsible for developing their national pool of referees.
Performance analysis support for the federation's referee committee — across professional, youth and women's competition.
Structured development pathways for elite referees, U21 referees and women referees, backed by data and video.
Referee development programmes aligned with UEFA refereeing standards — methodology, data, and platform support.
If you're a federation refereeing committee, a national referee development lead, or a senior referee — register below. We're shaping this offering in conversation with the people who'll use it.
