2026 – The year of referee sports

For us, 2026 is all about the referees.
With the launch of our Year of sports We want to consciously focus on the people who make sport possible – on and off the field.

We'll start around the Handball European Championships. Together with the.ref.duo, with which we already have a successful campaign, we are using this sporting highlight to look beyond refereeing in handball.

Referees in various sports

Refereeinside experience sport from a very special perspective.
Rules, emotions, communication, pressure situations – every sport brings its own challenges. We want to make these differences and similarities visible over the course of the year and **refereesSupport and let people from different sports have their say**.

February: Focus on futsal referees

Futsal places special demands on referees: high speed, many game situations, intensive communication and clear decisions in split seconds.

• Challenges, motivation and special moments

• Wishes and ideas for the further development of refereeing
