Referee Checklist

Here is a short checklist of what a soccer referee needs to have before a game can play.
However there is no official checklist from FIFA / IFAB, some local associations or federation do have a checklist for their referees.

• Referee Uniform
• Referee Gear (Whistle, watch, cards, coin, notebook, game pads, pen/pencil)
• Books & References (Laws of the Game, Game formats)

Before a game can be kicked-off the football referee must also do inspection on the pitch and players to ensure everything is safe to play and there is nothing that could be dangerous to players.
