Ranking
The
UEFA Refereeing Unit is broken down into five experience-based
categories. A referee is initially placed into Category 4 with the
exception of referees from France, Germany, England, Italy, or Spain.
Referees from these five countries are typically comfortable with top
professional matches and are therefore directly placed into Category 3.
Each referee's performance is observed and evaluated after every match;
his category may be revised twice per season, but a referee cannot be
promoted directly from Category 3 to the Elite Category.
