State the following:

Officials for conducting a football match.

Answer 1

The following officials are responsible for conducting a football match:

1. Referee: Each match is controlled by a referee who has full authority to enforce the laws of the game in connection with the match to which he has been appointed.
2. Assistant Referee: The assistant referees assist the referee to control the match in accordance with the laws of the game. In particular, they may enter the field of play to help control the 9· 15m distance.
3. The Fourth Official: The fourth official is simply instructed to assist the referee at all times, and his duties are largely at the discretion of the referee. His usual duties can be broadly divided into assisting functions and a replacement function.
4. Video Assistant Referee (VAR): The VAR team uses video footage to evaluate some of the referee's decisions. These include possible goals, penalty rulings, direct red card events, and cases of mistaken identity.
