Got a few minutes this weekend? That’s enough to get started!

You don’t need to complete the whole YouRef course before Monday. We promise: no one is checking your homework.

Here’s the plan:

Enrol in the free YouRef course this weekend.
Take a few minutes to explore it — start a module, have a look around, see what YouRef is all about. No need to finish everything!
Join us live on Monday, 7 September, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM CET.

During the webinar, the YouRef team will give you a taste of what’s inside the course, explain why recruiting and retaining young sport officials matters, share some of the ideas and tools we have developed — and, most importantly, hear your feedback.

Then? You can go back and complete the course whenever it suits you.

So this weekend: don’t binge-watch the course. Just open the door.
We’ll show you around on Monday.

The webinar is free and the Google Meet link is available directly inside the SportAcademy course once you enrol.

🤝NGO NEST Berlin hosted the 3rd Transnational Project Meeting of the project "Multi-actors EducatioNal impacT Models for childRen" (MENTORS) — an Erasmus+ Sport project aimed at strengthening the educational role of sport by promoting positive values, inclusion and life skills among children through the active involvement of referees, coaches and families.

🎯 During the meeting, partners reviewed the progress achieved so far and discussed the next steps for the implementation of the project's activities, pilot actions and future meetings. Particular attention was dedicated to the preparation of the national pilot trainings in sport clubs and the further development of the MENTORS methodology and online educational tools.

📍The event took place on 23rd June 2026 in Berlin. In the framework of the MENTORS project, representatives from partner organisations across 7 countries — Italy, Germany, Portugal, Cyprus, Croatia, Spain and the Netherlands — discussed the implementation of local pilot activities, project workflow, dissemination actions and the deployment of an online game designed to support ethics and values in sport.

The MENTORS project aims to promote inclusion, fair play and life skills by creating positive sporting environments where all children can learn and grow through sport, while supporting referees, coaches and parents in their educational role.

Behind every competition are referees and judges who make sport possible.

Their decisions may be discussed.
Online abuse should never be part of the game.

On UAOA Day, IFSO proudly joins the FIA United Against Online Abuse Coalition to remind everyone that respect does not end with the final whistle.

Protecting sports officials means protecting the future of sport.

After UEFA 's strong statement on the case and President Trump's latest comments about the referee, IFSO is deeply concerned.

Referees can make mistakes.
The rules provide mechanisms to deal with those mistakes.

What is unacceptable is when referees become political targets or are exposed to personal attacks because of decisions taken on the field of play.

From Omar Abdulkadir Artan, unable to reach the FIFA World Cup despite being officially appointed, to the , and now the public questioning of a referee's integrity, one pattern is emerging:

Referees remain among the least protected participants in international sport.
