Soccer is undeniably the most popular sport in the world. While we
know much about its high-profile players and their increasing
wealth and global influence, we know little about referees and the
ways in which refereeing has changed throughout the history of the
sport. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolution
of the match official. It presents a comparative analysis of elite
Association football referees in England, Spain and Italy, as well
as offering insights into the involvement of UEFA and FIFA in
referee training. Drawing on archive material, the book documents
the historical development of refereeing and sheds new light on the
practice of elite refereeing in the present day. Including
exclusive interviews with elite and ex-elite referees, as well as
with professional soccer managers and members of the broadcast
media, it considers the current role of match officials and the
challenges and controversies they encounter. Elite Soccer Referees:
Officiating in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A is
fascinating reading for all students and scholars with an interest
in soccer, sport history, sport policy, sport management and the
sociology of sport.
