Referee

A referee is an official who oversees a sporting event to ensure the game is conducted fairly and according to rules. They make decisions on plays, enforce regulations, and resolve disputes between players or teams. Their role is essential for maintaining order and integrity in sports, and they often have the authority to stop the game, award penalties, or even eject players if necessary. Referees must stay impartial, have a thorough understanding of the rules, and communicate clearly with players and coaches throughout the match.
