Pro Referee Simulator turns the usual football game around: you do not score goals, you judge them. Each match shows the pitch from above with both teams lined up, a 90-minute clock and a fixture card such as AC Castels against Dervon in League 1. You run around as the referee, blow the big whistle when a tackle looks bad, and then the VAR screen opens with a slow-motion 3D replay of the incident. High kicks, late slides, pushes and possible dives all land on your desk, and you choose whether to wave play on, give a foul, or show a yellow or red card. Good calls earn coins and respect so you can move up through leagues and cups, train stamina and speed in the gym, collect cards and buy new referee outfits. If you would rather play than judge, try Soccer REAL or Football Legends.
Move the referee with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys, or use the arrows on screen, and click the green whistle to stop play. When the VAR replay appears, watch where the contact really happens, then pick your decision with a click or tap. Stay close to the ball so you are in position for every incident, and remember that a hard but fair tackle on the ball is not a foul. Save red cards for dangerous play like studs-up challenges and kicks to the body. Visit the gym between matches to boost your stamina so you can keep up in longer games.
