Managing referees in Germany today demands more than just a spreadsheet and a few text messages. From assigning games and tracking availability to handling payments and streamlining communication, the responsibilities placed on assignors and organizers have never been greater. That’s why modern sports organizations across Germany are turning to smarter, purpose-built solutions like Refr Sports.
Refr Sports isn’t just another admin tool—it’s a complete referee management platform designed specifically to help assignors, clubs, and leagues simplify every aspect of officiating operations.
With a rich sporting culture that spans everything from football and handball to ice hockey and volleyball, German organizations frequently coordinate hundreds of matches across seasons. Each of these requires careful oversight of referees—ensuring the right officials are in the right place, at the right time, and with all the necessary credentials and instructions.
Traditional systems often fall short. Manual processes lead to missed assignments, scheduling conflicts, and excessive time spent chasing availability or clarifying payments. Refr addresses these exact issues head-on.
Refr is built around the specific needs of referee assignors and organizations—making it a standout choice for German sports bodies looking to modernize their operations.
