This book provides an in-depth study of competition rules and is particularly suitable for those who want to take part in the football association referee course, as it focuses not only on the rules themselves but also on their application in actual matches. The original purpose of this book was to meet the needs of football training referees at Level 7, which is the starting point of a referee's career. The second purpose is to help referees currently in practice improve their officiating skills, consolidate their knowledge, and deepen their understanding of the rules. It will encourage referees to think about how to integrate into the game and apply the rules. The third purpose is to give players, spectators, fans, and the media a chance to understand football rules and the work of referees. The book uses male pronouns throughout, but the author does so solely for brevity and has absolutely no intention of discriminating against any women involved in football, especially female referees. With the rapid development of women's football, the number of female referees is also growing.
