players, match officials, Referees, assistant referees, stewards
In a standard football (soccer) match, there are 22 players on the pitch, consisting of 11 players from each team. Additionally, there are typically 3 referees officiating the match: one center referee and two assistant referees. This brings the total to 25 individuals on the pitch during a game.
Yes the referees can interfere in a match
Referees.
Referees are needed to see if the match is fairly played and to help if someone is injured.
FIFA choose a panel for the World Cup Finals, and then based on their performances the referees are either allowed to stay on in the latter stages or sent home.
Referees receive medals at the end of a match as a token of appreciation for their role in ensuring fair play, upholding the rules of the game, and maintaining order on the field.
The referees are paid handsomely they get 5,000 pounds for the game.
In a tournament, there are five referees. There are four flag referees and one main referee. The flag referees raise the flag with the color of the opponent scoring a point. The final decision is made by the main referee.
two referees, and the coaches of course
In handball, there are typically two referees officiating each match. They work together to monitor the game, enforce the rules, and make decisions on fouls and goals. This dual-referee system helps ensure fair play and provides a better perspective on the fast-paced action of the game.
There are usually four officials controlling a soccer match: one Referee, two Assistant Referees, and a Fourth Official. In non-professional games, the Fourth Official is usually not present. In some youth games (U10 and below in the US), the offside law is not applied, and so the Assistant Referees are also not used. To confound things more, there is a FIFA sanctioned experiment in the use of two Additional Assistant Referees stationed near the goals (one on each side). There may also be Reserve Assistant Referees who take no part in the match unless an Assistant Referee is unable to continue.
