We have answers to your questions

You can find the answers to the most frequently asked questions in the FAQs

Is there a volume discount for circles or groups?2024-12-04T21:27:57+01:00

Please contact us – individual prices for groups of 20 or more are possible. Several associations and groups already use REFEREE Academy Professional for training and further education.

Does the product officially have anything to do with any football associations?2024-12-04T21:34:39+01:00

No, we are completely independent. Accordingly, our content does not necessarily represent the opinion of the associations.

How can you be sure of the interpretation?2024-12-04T21:35:53+01:00

All our employees have a very high level of expertise, either through corresponding DFB trainer certificates and/or on the occasion of the match class as a referee as well as referee training. If, in rare cases, the employees are not in agreement, we ask the official authorities.

Who runs Referee Academy?2024-12-04T21:37:25+01:00

An association of referee instructors and active referees.

What exactly is Referee Academy?2024-12-04T21:38:00+01:00

Referee Academy is the first platform with training-specific content for referees. Soccer was the first part since 2016. Other sports will follow. Some of the content is already multilingual and will be expanded further. Members of the Referee Academy are mostly active or former referees at association or DFB level who pass on their experience and knowledge. Some of the content is free of charge, some other content is subject to a fee.

Why does the app cost anything?2024-12-04T21:39:07+01:00

Development and maintenance costs for the database must be taken into account to ensure the best possible service. On the other hand, enormous amounts of time are required to keep the database up to date at all times, especially when rules are changed. Voluntary commitment is no longer possible at this level. After more than 5 years on the market, we have not only proven sustainability, but also appropriate price stability.

Does the subscription renew automatically?2024-12-04T21:39:31+01:00

All subscriptions can be canceled at any time under “Account” when the license expires and are otherwise renewed continuously for the same period. Automatic renewal of licenses through voucher codes is generally excluded!

How many different questions does the database contain?2024-12-04T21:40:35+01:00

The database currently has 5,324 rule questions (as of May 2021), 89% of which contain explanations of the facts.

Can I be sure that the questions are correct?2024-12-04T21:41:00+01:00

Yes, with a very high probability. Of course, we also make mistakes from time to time. If you notice something, please report the error via the link in the question (under the number tile) – we will check and correct the question within 72 hours. This can happen especially after rule changes (usually in summer). Changes to the rules will be announced on the site.
