Soccer referees get paid according to their experience and the number of games they officiate. Referees can earn anywhere from $10 per game up to $50 per game, depending on the experience level of the official. Officials at the FIFA level earn even more for each match; FIFA’s top tier makes around $250,000 annually, while another tier makes about $100,000 annually.

Who is a Referee?

Referees are the ones responsible for watching over a game and making sure that all players follow the rules. They also make sure that the game is being played safely, with no injuries or unfair advantages given to one team. Other people who keep track of what is happening during a game usually watched referees and can report any problems to them if they see fit.

The Salary of a Soccer Referee

On average, a soccer referee can earn $1,000 per month. This is of course dependent on the level of competition they are officiating. Soccer referees also have to pay for their own travel expenses and other out-of-pocket costs incurred during the game. It’s not uncommon for a referee to spend over $1,000 per week on gas, food and other personal expenses incurred at the game venue.
